SOURCE: 2005 Chevy Cobalt, how do you reset a fault code?

Your car has a OBD2 hook up under the dash somewhere on the drivers side, You have to have a computer to hook up to that ODB plug and reset it, If you live near a Autozone they will clear the code for you for free, One other thing you try is disconnecting your battery for about 30 mins, that works on alot cars to reset the check light.

Take the car back to your Mechanic and have the mechanic reset your system. Some may advise you to disconnect the battery, and that will reset your computer. This may cause significant problems with your car's computer,radio, alarm. Take the car to the mechanic.

SOURCE: how to reset engine check light for loose gas

Just disconnect the NEG battery terminal for 10 minutes and the Code should clear. Or you can get a free scan at Autozone or Oreillys and they will use their scanner to clear your computer.

The advantage with the scanner is you will not lose radio station Presets or security codes.

Check engine light on a 1999 jeep wranglertj

A check engine light means the computer found a problem. If the light is steady on, the problem may not be too bad, like a loose gas cap. If the check engine light is blinking, that's a major issue and you need to stop driving and have it fixed or major engine damage could occur.

Driving home last night... gas cap light comes on. I tightened gas cap, restarted car and light goes off...started car this morning and now check engine light on

The "gas cap light" actually does not mean the gas cap is loose or defective.It is telling you there is a leak in the fuel system somewhere,usually a vapor line or stuck or defective valve.Not very often is it the gas cap that causes the light to come on.Time for a scan and a smoke test to fine the leak.

I have a 2007 jeep patriot. The check engine keeps coming on with the code p2008. Mechanic say fixed but check engine light keeps coming on and off. How do I fix problem

but you never scanned it the 2nd time, maybe the gas cap is loose.
p2 is jeep factory only code (unlike p0,1)
so only jeep books get this correct .
2007 MK Jeep it is.
is P2008 a rumor or did you see it with YOUR EYE and on what a real scan too?
P2008 Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) Solenoid Control Circuit

so what did he do? replace it , clean it? what?
if you clean it and it dont work, then its bad. replace it.
as for why the CEL glows now, you'd have to scan it again
mine has like 300 DTC's possible. so ID NEVER ASSUME its still P2008- not me , id scan it, any shop or store can scan it,
why wait, or guess or worry.?
or ask him to help, see if it is something new, or just the gas cap loose.

How do i fix it.
?
i dont know what you can do.... personally?
buy the FSM and read?
buy a scan tool and scan.
be clear as to all DTC thrown, and post them all.

Gas cap light came in jeep patriot 2008

Start by rebooting the as explained regkyl.
If issue returns then get a new gascap and reboot again. The seal on your cap is maybe worn out.
If issue still return then you'll have no choice to go and have the sensor checked and hope the problem is not with the cluster...

2009 jeep patriot. the check engine light cam on took it to auto zone and they said it was a gas cap. they fiddled with it and shut the code off. i drove it less then 10 miles and it is back on.

Did you replace the gas cap? A gas cap that does not seal properly will allow air to be drawn into the evap system and will give you a corresponding check engine light and code. Caps are relatively inexpensive, so buy one and replace your old one.

I think someone loosened my gas cap on my 07 silverado, would like to know if there is a way to reset engine light.

Once you tighten the gas cap the engine light will reset itself after it has gone threw the necessary drive cycles, but only if the problem has been fixed. So yes if the check engine light came on for the reason of a loose gas cap, once you tighten it it will go off on its own.
