My 1992 Mazda B2600i p/u just reached 60,000 miles. The check engine light came on. How do I reset the light to turn it off after service is completed? ---

When the dealer/ repair shop completes the repair they reset the light (or they are supposed to). ---

On older vehicles, you can, often, reset the light if you disconnect the battery for a minuet. On newer vehicles, a scan tool has to be used. ---

And in some cases, it will go out after a few driving cycles. Some auto part stores may be willing to reset it for you for free. I can’t remember, but I believe that a 1992 may be reset using a simple procedure. You might want to check your owner’s manual if you have it, or someone here may post the directions. ---
