Is there a reset button where I can turn off the Check engine light on a 98 Corolla? There has to be somewhere. After certain miles it will come on and I know from another car I had that it won't cut off until it reaches a certain amout of mile but someone told me where the reset buton was and I didn't have to deal with that annoying light anymore.

SOURCE: check engine light

Try the following:
1. Make sure the odometer is shown (not trip meters). Turn key to the Off position. 2. Press the odometer button AND turn the ignition key to the ON position for a few seconds. 3. You will hear a �ding� and the odometer will show four or five underscores to indicate the reset is done.

SOURCE: oil change light

Turn the key on. Observe the odometer. Is "ODO" displayed? If not, push the trip meter button until "ODO" is displayed, with the total mileage travelled shown.
Turn the key off.
Push & HOLD the trip reset button until advised to release it.
Turn the key to "ON" (do not start engine)
Observe the ODO display.
You should see 5 dashes, then 4, then 3, then 2, then one, and finally, five zeros.
The original mileage that you observed should be redisplayed.
Release the trip reset button.
The proceedure is now complete.

LEXUS LS 2004 Maint Reqd (Master warning light) how I can switch off after change the oil engine?

You can disconnect your battery for 15 minutes or pull the fuse for an ECM or PCM fuse, but the best way is to visit any local repair shop. Most shops will have a universal Check Engine Light Code Reader that can quickly and safely reset check engine light trouble codes. It should take about 30 seconds.

Ask your local service center if they could reset the check engine light with a Check Engine Light Code Reader.

The oil light is reset by the tech on each service. It will not go off by itself. As far as the check engine light goes you now have a code stored and you will need to get it before we can begin to diagnose. Only thing you can do is make sure the gas cap is on and the seal is no cracked or distorted. This could set a code

If you disconnect your battery for 5-10 minutes this will most likely reset it. If it comes back on again, however, your computer is probably receiving a trouble code of some sort, and it would be worthwhile to bring it in to have the code read.
