It is not recomended to disconnect the battery and turn the light switch or horn or anything else on in order to clear codes stored in memory because any settings stored in the computer may be lost too.Go to autozone and rent the scanner to do it yourself.It is very easy,just connect the scanner to the connector located below the dashboard, turn the ignition on but not the engine and follow the prompts then when it says: clear codes?hit yes or enter and that is it.This is the safest way to do it.

The cheap and easy way is to disconnect your battery and turn on your headlights and leave it for a few minutes to reset the ECU. Otherwise you will need a scan tool to do it.

What does service soon A mean? Oil changed last week.
Bring your car down to autozone store or an auto part store that will diagnose engine lights or service lights for free.
It could be something else that needs looked.
Normally. The oil change shops reset the service light for you.
Hope it helps

How do you set the service engine soon light on a 97 Ford Thunderbird?
The light can only be reset with a OBD2 Diagnostic tool. You can run by your local Advance Auto/Autozone and they will do that for you usually free of charge.

My service engine soon light just came on. My mustang has 180,880 miles on it. It seems to be running fine. Is this an automated light that comes on for service required at this specific mileage per...
Sometimes it's just a routine mileage thing other times it can actually be a fault code. You might run it by your local Autozone, Advance, etc.. parts store and they will do a FREE scan for you and reset the lights.

Service Engine Soon light reset.
The Service Engine Soon light comes only when the engine computer control unit (called the PCM) senses a fault in the electronic controls of the engine and/or the emission system, it is not related to the oil change, there are about 200 possible faults that turn the light on, to know what has developed a problem you must have the system tested, this is called an OBD2 fault code test, Kragen and Autozone parts stores do this testing for free.

Ford Mustang service engine soon and check fuel cap lights are on
Check fuel cap light will not immediatly go out upon replacement of the fuel cap. Might take several days. You could go to a local autoparts store and have them read the trouble code (for check engine light) and reset it. If it was indeed the fuel cap the light should stay off after resetting it. Most autoparts stores do not charge a fee to do this.

Service engine soon light 2004 Alero
if it truly set code for "loose fuel cap" or po455 large leak, then tightening the cap and driving a couple days should reset on its own. if not then get it checked for free at autozone and report back with code # and can help from there. they'll ck for free but are not allowed to reset.
