How do you reset the "check engine" light on an 02 Honda Civic?

i believe that the best way to do that is go to a local mechanic and have them check it out because it might just be something little or could be a big problem

ok do these steps in this order... Put the key in the ignition and turn it 2 clicks, do not crank the engine..Then push and hold the little dial thing for the milage, hold this and do not let go...After 10 seconds, keep holding it and pull the key back and out of the ignition... at this time let go of the dial.... when you turn the car on next time the Check Engine light should not be on... You may have to try this a few times, but it works for sure b/c i've done it... Good Luck!

Remember if you disconnect battery your radio will need a code to work again if it's the anti-theft model.

turn the engine to second start then hold the reset button and do not releast the button and then turn off and then keep holding it and turn on the engine..releast the button and press and hold it for 5 second....maybe honda make some different cuz i have an accord 02 and is do that step

disconnect ur battery for approx for 2 minutes and it should be reset!!
