How do I reset my car's engine light?

I have a Vauxhall Crossland and the engine light has been on for a few days. Is there a quick way to reset it without taking it to a mechanic?

Hi Jessica, yes, there is a way to reset your car's engine light without taking it to a mechanic. Most likely, the light is on due to a minor issue like a loose gas cap. Try tightening the gas cap, then drive for a few miles and see if the light turns off. If not, you can try disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes and reconnecting it. If the light still doesn't turn off, it's best to take it to a mechanic for a proper diagnosis.

Hey Jessica, I had the same issue with my Vauxhall Crossland a few months ago. I found that pressing and holding the engine light button on the dashboard for a few seconds resets it. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you too.

Hi Jessica, I had a similar problem with my Vauxhall Crossland a while back and my mechanic told me that sometimes the light comes on due to a loose gas cap or a problem with the catalytic converter. It's best to take it to a mechanic just to be safe.
