Then reconnect the battery cable and then see if the light has gone off.

Disconnecting the battery for about a minute allows the "computer" to re-set itself.

Checking the gas cap as Steve suggested is also a good idea as a loose cap will cause the "check engine" light to come on.

If neither of those cures it, take Steve's advise and go to AutoZone and ask them to use their analyzer to print you a readout which should diagnose your problem. It just takes a few minutes and they do not charge for the service.

BTW....They will diagnose the problem and tell you what you need to correct the problem...Once the problem is corrected the analyzer has a function on it to "clear the codes" from your computer but AutoZone WILL NOT erase the code from your computer....They have been given strict orders NOT to do so for liability reasons.

You can buy the analyzer and do it yourself but they won't do it for you....BTW...The analyzers are not very expensive.

Good luck...

BTW....Many people have NEVER been able to figure out why that damn light stays on......Their ultimate solution to the problem is to put a piece of BLACK ELECTRICAL TAPE OVER IT.
