How to Reset the Engine Light on a Mazda B2200

When the "Check Engine" light illuminates on your Mazda, it is alerting you to a malfunction of a valve, sensor or solenoid on the vehicle. Whatever the cause, you need to have your vehicle looked at by a qualified mechanic. You or your mechanic can use an OBD diagnostic scan tool to retrieve the computers trouble codes so that the problem can be diagnosed accurately. Once the vehicle has been repaired, you can manually reset the Check Engine light yourself in just a few minutes, turning off the notice until another situation arises to cause the light to come on again.

Instructions

1

Put on your safety goggles and cloth work gloves.

2

Open your B2200s hood and look for the battery. Attached to it are two cables; one is the negative cable. On the end of the cable attached to the battery is a clamp with a nut on it. Loosen that nut using the end wrench to disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Secure it so that it cannot come back into contact with the battery.

3

Slip the cable clamp off the negative terminal, taking care not to let it touch the positive side of the battery. Wait at least five minutes.

4

Put the negative battery cable clamp back on the negative battery terminal and tighten the nut.

5

Put the key into the ignition and start the engine. Look on the instrument panel to make sure the Check Engine light has turned off.
