Is there any way I can reset this or do I have to take it to a shop??

 

You can disconnect your battery. Do you know what your CEL is?

 

Go get a cheap scan tool.

 

Options you have:
1) Disconnect the battery without reading the code to see what is wrong
2) Go to an auto-parts store that will read the code for you for free, and then will clear it for you if you wish
3) Buy a code reader for less than a diagnostics fee at a shop, read it yourself, and read all future codes on all your cars for free
4) Buy a bluetooth OBD2 dongle and pair it with your smartphone or tablet and an OBD2 app
5) Go to a shop and pay their one time diagnostic's charge to get the code for you
6) Go to a dealer and pay their even higher one time diagnostics charge to get the code, and then charge you even more for fixing it.


Your choice.

I recommend one of the ones in the middle, where you get the code before clearing, but aren't getting raped in the wallet.

 

Pull the "room fuse"?

 

If you have a CEL, there's something in your car that requires attention. Pulling the "room fuse" and/or disconnecting the battery will temporarily get rid of the light, if the problem still exist the CEL will come back on. Only until you've figured out what it is and fixed it will the CEL completely go away. Follow what EDZRIDE and RIWWP have suggested.

 

It's the error code P0455, I got a new gas cap and hoping this will fix the problem. So if I disconnect the battery and this was the problem the the light shouldn't come on or do you have to have it reset?

 

electrical tape over the light works everytime.

 

^ Good thinking. Hey, it's only your engine.

 

The gas cap cel will self clear after a few drive cycles.
