How do you disconnect the check engine light?In: VW New Beetle |
[Edit] |
Answer
In order to turn off the "Check Engine Light", you or a trusted mechanic check the Onboard Diagnostics (OBDII) OBDII uses a "code reader" which plugs into your car (usually in the dashboard, or near the radio...) and that tells you what "malfunction" is setting your Check Engine Light off.
Basically, if there is a fault in any computer controlled system (fuel, ignition, SRS (airbag), emissions etc) the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) sends a code to the OBD unit... Then the code reader breaks down the fault, it's location and usually (with a good reference manual) you can remedy the problem (or at least narrow it down!)
Good luck and by the way, you can purchase OBDII Code Scanners starting at $99 or so from a ton of auto parts places, if you're a DIYer...

Research your answer: |
- Why would a 2001 new beetle stall when it rains or gets wet?
- I spilled water on the dash of my 2006 TDI Beetle and the speakers started making static noises and didn't stop when I turned off the radio and the motor for awhile - maybe 10 minutes Nothing works?
- How many miles per gallon should you be getting in the city?
