how to clear check engine light? Does any one know how to do it?

I haven't had to do it yet, but if it is like other OBDII vehicles, you can disconnect the battery (not a good idea unless you have your radio codes handy), or use a scan tool to reset the system.

Are you talking about the actual check engine light or the "maintenance required" indicator.

The owners manual instructs you on how to turn off the latter. As for the check engine light, I'm not sure.

pull out CLOCK_BACKUP fuse from passenger under dash. Insert it back after 10 seconds.
MIL light will be cleared.

Don't take out the fuse.
Check nemogira's postings and you will find the answer.

(sorry, i ment to reply to post below)

For 02 Ody, it states:
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Press and hold the select/reset button in the instrument panel, then turn the ignition switch ON(II).
3. Hold the button until the indicator resets (approximately ten seconds).

Found the info on page 70, under GAUGES.
Hope to have an Ody in about a month, if i can find a dealer that will not play games with me(I'm not really looking right now, but will in about 2 weeks). I printed out the 400 page owners manual and i'm only upto page 118, hope to read it all befor i get my Ody.

This worked for me on my 2005. Thank you

This thread is almost 6 years old. Resetting the light doesn't fix the problem that triggered the light to begin with. You should fix the problem and then clear the light, otherwise it will just come back on.
