> [@Art48](#): > > engine light stays on Do you mean the “Check Engine Light” ? The little picture of an engine? That light means there is a problem and error codes are stored. They can be read, for free, from most auto parts stores in the US. If you have that done, just be sure to write down the actual codes in the format P1234. Post them back here and we’ll try and help. ---

If the problem has not been fixed… expect that light to come back on. ---

Disconnecting the battery to clear a check engine light (CEL) does not fix anything. It simply restarts the system and as it goes out and finds the sensor giving the CEL the light will come on again. ---

I know that. The garage changed the oil and set the oil light. The system was reset the on-board system reported no problems . The reset did not turn the engine light off. I went through the reset procedures, and the on-board computer did not reset the Lite. Found a fix to reset light. ---

So you repeated everything you posted previously and my answer is the same… > [@Mustangman](#): > > If the problem has not been fixed… expect that light to come back on.
