Resetting Error Codes
Apologies if this has been asked before and apologies if this isn't
the right group. I have a '97 Cherokee with the 'Check Engine' light illuminated I've extracted the error codes and fixed the problem. How do I clear the error codes, currently I disconnect the battery in order to switch off the check engine light but, of course, this just adds the 'battery disconnected in the last 50 key cycles' error? Is there an easy way e.g a key combination or some contacts that I can bridge? I don't want to take it to the dealership as they are shysters and I don't have any programming hard/software. Thanks in advance Steve Pickthall |
Re: Resetting Error Codes
Disconnect the battery for two minutes to reset all the codes. That
will of course set the '12' code again but that's ok. Jerry Steve Pickthall wrote: > Apologies if this has been asked before and apologies if this isn't > the right group.

Re: Resetting Error Codes
Your Cherokee is OBD II compliant, this means you can use the diagnostic
tool to reset the codes. AutoZone will let you use the tool for free, and you can erase the codes easily in a few seconds. You can also pull any code that may have been set, but you don't know about yet. Here is a list of all of the possible codes, http://www.wattora.com/Mods/OBDII/ "Steve Pickthall" <spam@pickthall.freeserve.co.uk> wrote in message news:b85f2cd4.0501071031.7b3dc4b5@posting.google.c om... > Apologies if this has been asked before and apologies if this isn't > the right group.
