With key off, press and hold SELECT/RESET button on dash. While holding button down, turn key on/engine off. Light will reset after 10 seconds with button down.
The check engine light is the cars computer telling you it has detected a problem with a monitored system. Have the PCM (computer) scanned for codes, Autozone will do it for free. If the PCM sees a problem it will store a code that will help in diagnosing the problem, get back with the exact codes
