Unfortunately it's not possible to just reset the Check Engine Light. When you clear the Check Engine Light, all emission-related diagnostic information will be cleared too. The OBD2 standard is very clear about this. In the standard it is stated that the following data will be cleared:– MIL and number of diagnostic trouble codes– The I/M (Inspection/Maintenance) readiness bits– Confirmed diagnostic trouble codes– Pending diagnostic trouble codes– Diagnostic trouble code for freeze frame data– Freeze frame data– Status of system monitoring tests– On-board monitoring test results– Distance traveled while MIL is activated– Number of warm-ups since DTCs cleared– Distance traveled since DTCs cleared– Engine run time while MIL is activated– Engine run time since DTCs cleared– Reset misfire counts of standardized Test ID $0B to zeroFixing the original issue that caused the Check Engine Light to light up typically means that you need to change some parts of the car.
Therefore, it makes sense to clear all old data from the system because the old data is not valid anymore after the fix. Getting fresh start will provide accurate readings from the system after the reset.It's true that you should not take your car to the inspection right after the reset. Readiness monitor self check routines that will be checked at the inspection are not ready and will most likely to cause your car fail the inspection. The purpose of the readiness monitors is to self-test the car’s emission systems. The monitors require some drive cycle to meet the necessary conditions to run the self-diagnostic tests. You can read more about the readiness monitors and OBD drive cycle on OBD Readiness Monitors Explained | OBD Auto Doctor Scantool Garage. You can also check the status of the readiness monitors with basically every OBD2 software tool.Even the simplest, cheapest scanners can clear codes. When you say "without resetting the entire system" I assume you mean you don't want to lose any accumulated data.
I don't think this is possible with OBD-II as the same process that resets the code also is designed to reset all the clocks and sensor accumulation. You can see the logic in this: the idea is that after doing a fix, you want to "start over" with fresh sensor readings and default timings and settings, and not have old data give a false indication or sub-optimal setting. As Dan Pepper says, this concern fixes itself after a few dozen miles. The other effect (and likely the one you'd like to get around) is that the OBD system requires a certain amount of miles driven without the problem re-appearing before the clean reading is considered "official". This is why you can't just clear a code and then immediately get your car inspected; the recent reset is flagged and the OBD will report that not enough miles have elapsed to give a proper reading. Again, I don't think it's possible to game this, but depending on the specific code you might find that driving in a particular way, or in a single long trip, will get you the requisite miles before the code reappears.
The best idea, of course, is to fix the problem, because even if you do fool the inspector the light will come back on and you'll get used to it and won't know the difference when a real problem occurs.I liked the first two answers, advocates of actually fixing the car. If you like to gamble and have some decent skills under the hood, you could simply replace the sensor that is assigned to detect whatever code(s). This will provide a fix only if the sensor was faulty. If the sensor is functioning correctly, a new sensor - with a code reset, will be tripped just like the old sensor. The OBD is like a Flight Data Recorder; it stores how the car has been driven, how many revolutions in the engine, hours the engine has been used, basically everything that happened SINCE THE OBD HAS RESET. The car accumulates data over time, and no single code can be dismissed. The reason for this is to prevent people from trying to falsely pass an inspection. If there is not a sufficient amount of data, it won't pass.
You'll have to go drive it as you normally did until enough data accumulates, which will be about the time the warning lamp will illuminate...again....for the same code.If you simply want the light to go out for any particular stored trouble code, the guys from the radio show Car Talk weren't really joking about a piece of black tape to cover it up. That light is there to prompt you to seek maintenance. It typically is reporting a problem with emission control system. Out of all of the things a shade tree mechanic shouldn't mess with the emission controls. Some cars, especially those in California, are sold with a completely separate warranty that is over & above any other vehicle warranty.I've lived in states with no emission controls, states with smog rules based on the zip code of where the vehicle is registered, and states where a thorough inspection required. I've liked the latter most, because you can drive a vehicle that passed a smog test, but is unsafe in every other way: no brakes, bald tires, missing lug nuts, 90° play in the steering, broken leaves, going 85mph.
You can purchase the repair manuals from the manufacturer that will take you through every step of every code's troubleshooting process.If you're luck, they'll be available on a CD or DVD. Otherwise, expect at least two different books that each have over 2000 pages, covering every possible configuration. For my 2005 Malibu, the books cost about $150.I made sure those books were in the front seat of the car whenever it needed something repaired. The dealership frequently didn't have these books, and independent shops never did; I wanted to give the technician all of the information I could to properly diagnose & repair my car.The point of that is that there were dozens of reasons that each particular code would be set, and it listed each possible diagnoses in a tree format...'Is the vehicle on its roof? If yes, proceed to Step 2. If no, proceed to step 29.' Like an instruction set for an IRS form, only simpler.'Step 2. Is the vehicle on its side...if on the right side, skip to step 5, if on its left side, follow Step 2a: reorienting a vehicle on its left side.
