Check engine lite reset

[Bxdragon]

I seafoamed my 98 civic and the cel is on. I wanted to know if i disconnected my battery would it reset my cel. I need to do this to pass inspection. let me know if im correct with this idea or am i screwed and have to replace the 02. also seafoam worked great and im not downing it. just this issue which i was warned about

[kbrown!]

you're fucked because itll show a pending code when you go to emissions.

If u disconnect the battery the light will shut off but your gonna have to drive up to 150 miles after to really see if its gone then go inspect the car

[Bxdragon]

good looks ok ill do that im rather neew to this cause in my 95 camaro they didnt give a ish about the cel in ny. if not im oing to take it to autozone and see if i can get someone to clear it with a reader

[jdmkid618]

U can do that to but u still won't pass inspection
Btw wha car u trying to inspect

[Bxdragon]

98 civic ex . good looks with the help if dont pass it is what it is

[kbrown!]

Yea even if you clear it with a code reader it'll still show a pending code until you go a certain amount of miles. If it doesn't come
On after x amount of miles then you'll pass otherwise you're gunna fail

these guys on here are fucking noobs...to reset your computer you dont need to drive 150 miles lmao .....just touch the negative cable to the positive it will reset your computer back to its org programming... its adaptive it learns and adjusts to the needs of the vehicle aka more fuel or air mixture and stuff like that not going into detail...also if you ever want to sell the car and worried if the check engine light goes on disconnect 2 cables from the ecu...start the car let it click over 5 times exactly...take the key out...reconnect the battery and BAM ur solid...check engine light wont go on..

also if u seafoam it doswnt make the o2 sensor bad just take it out and put choke cleaner on it to remove the buildup...u should be good from there..i do this like 4 times a week on the side to help people pass emissions..honestly i think our country needs to fucking worry about other things like immigration and social security and worry less about tickets and petty shit like emissions...as long as ur car isnt blowing out black smoke and flourocarbons who gives 2 shits

^ So basically you're saying you are a fucking hack job. Telling him to undo shit so the Cel goes off to sell a car. Thats good.

And no the people above aren't noobs. If you reset your ecu to erase codes, then go to emissions right away it will be an automatic fail. And will say System Not Ready. My car I put 27 Miles on it and brought it thru emissions no problem. Another car we put like 80 and it still failed.

some cars even need 100miles before the monitor's get reseted just saying

[LS/Vtec]

yup they say like 80-100. I just figured i'd try with 27 since it's a free re test. But it passed. I had some sensor not ready but your allowed to have a certain amount.
