can you turn off check engine light by unplugging the battery for an hour?
 

does anyone know if you can turn off the check engine light by unplugging the battery for an hour? i had a spark plug issue ......so i changed those but now i just want to get that enginge light off. thanks!

It will go away, but if there is still a problem it will come back eventually

Yes
Or find someone with an ODB-II scanner, read the code and clear the light.
At least then you'll know what's going on.

Generally not a good idea but I've been guilty of doing it once or twice for my catless CEL for particular reasons :O

thanks every one!

reset it, go to autozone get them to scan it

You made two threads with the same title and asked the exact same question...
