    Once you have fixed the problem, start the engine, and run it up to temperature. Let it cool, then repeat. The third time you do this, if there are no more faults, the light will go out.
    I've done this with three different makes of vehicle. It works!

    This method varies from manufacturer and by model,
    Some cars that are make, model, year, engine, identical can have different sw versions which this would work on one and not the other,
    If you got the tools to fix a vehicle buy a obd code reader for less then what a spanner costs
    Also pending dtc's that make the eml come on do tend to self clear after the battery pull but alot of hard codes will not,
    best to take both battery terminals off and discharge the electrical system as alot of capacitors within the ecm's that hold charge ,
    Can take up to 12 hours for them to totally discharge
    This is common with vw group vehicles and other brands,
    Also i noticed you kept tapping the negative terminal against the socket and battery terminal, your surging the electrical systems and they dont like that can cause all sorts of eeprom errors which can make electrical systems act pocessed, mess up displayed mileage,
    Jam immobiliser systems,

    The best way to reset the light is just removing the bulb, casually it is a focus, same as mine, I remember I had a dodge caravan with same light issue and I just stuck a black tape above and it was all, this light had me nervous and once I covered it with black tape, I finally forgot about it and the car never gave me any problem ever, late in 80's cars did not have a check engine light and we used to drive so happy, nowadays there is a light for any stupid thing that won't let us drive in peace

    in some cars, specially those 2014 onward, a non-volatile flash memory is used in the ECU to store the codes. it is similar to your usb flash drive. your usb flash drive doesn't lose the data on it when you pull it off the computer and cut the 5 volt on its pins, so is it with these flash memories in the ECUs these days. power cut and drainage no longer work they used to.

    It worked for my Chevy Cruze. When I first took off the negative and tap it three times on the terminal. But when I turn it off and restart it came back on. I then tried the second example of removing the negative wire and hold down the battery. After replacing the wire and restart it disappear. I turn it off and back on again and it didn't appear. But I think this is just a temporary fix. I will know when I turn it on later.

    For $40 you can buy a code scanner like Auto-XRay and read the codes, then reset the computer and fix your car that has the problem...also why did you feel the need to loosen the second battery terminal? Only need to take one off. Your Check engine is sure to come back on again until you fix the problem and in most cases the light will go off once the problem is fixed and there will be no need to reset the computer

    NEWSFLASH:: 😶did you know what Service Engine Soon means??? It means that its time to replace your distributor cap and probably should also replace the alternator with it......these 2 parts are responsible for Servicing the power to your engine...so its telling you that your distributor cap needs replaced......it is your early warning light that tells you that you are heading for electrical/mechanical failures.......then people wonder why their computer diagnosis the wrong codes.....too many people ignor this light, they think because they are able to still drive the car that they are safe,,, WRONG!! and If you keep driving on a bad alternator until that bad alternator causes malfunctions, screeching,numerous battery kills,, jerking and accidents....driving on bad alternators are dangerous and are fire hazards and it destroys the other parts of the engine.....most people also make the mistake of getting cheap " used" parts......this is also why the power is not being sent properly to the other parts of the engine ....usually the codes read ::cylinder misfire or o2 sensor,,because the alternator operates the crankshaft-- that turns the cylinders up and down.....if people would just take a look at a diagram and watch a video on how the parts work., they could get a visual of what is actually happening and understand better...driving on engine lights can cause serious accidents and is a fire hazard....it will thrust you forward into another car while braking....so never ignor this light by trying to save money by fixing the light....fix the actual problem or it will cost you dearly in the end.

      You have to fix the problem....
      the codes make the light comes on, codes=a problem.
      fix the problem=fix the code=No light

      Sometimes the diagnostics equipment does not identify a fkin problem, dude, no problem, no fix, dude, but want the light out. Suggest how he mentions emissions test it is something like Citroen, Toyota or Peugeot models where the light means cat issue dude, hahah.

    In most modern cars if you disconnect the battery like this without keeping power to the ECU it can cause you even more problems. Don't just disconnect the battery like this.

      @@35foss lots off people fix there own cars and they can use this method.
      Only thing you need to do is to driver at least 150 miles with he car for taaking it to inspection or it will not pass the inspection.
      if the ligth pops on agian there is still someting wrong.
      but this is a good tip for diy car owners.
