The service engine light on my Chevy Impala is on. I believe it is from not putting the gas cap on correctly. I have been told it should reset after a few starts or cycles. Can you tell me how many
cycles it should take? Also would it help to remove the positive battery cable to help reset the system?

Whatever you do don't mess with the battery you might end up with another problem

SES On:

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
