Sorry if this is old the search function is down.

But Im trying to get my check engine light reset after putting in a used motor without going to the dealer. Anyone know of an easy solution?
Thanks

 

Any hints as to the type and year engine/vehicle this might be in reference to?
With the earlier ECUs, just pulling the EFI fuse or disconneting the battery for a few minutes does the trick.

 

Sorry Im a dumbass,

1990 4runner 3.0

Ive had the battery disconnected and tried touching the positve and negative terminals together while disconnected and that hasn't done it either.
So just seeing if there are any other ideas out there thanks

 

in my 90 toyota 4runner i just pulled the EFI fuse for about 10-15minuts and it reseteded and does not come on anymore. make sure it is the fuse.

 

if you want me to i can give how to read the check engine light step by step cause you have the same car is me, it worked for me.

 

Do you know what the CEL is for?
Maybe it's not that you can't clear it but that you haven't yet solved the issue behind its activation?
