05 LR3 Simple Question...How can I reset the check engine light?

[shelbyjett]

Dealer indicated it was showing a fault for a stuck thermostat and wanted $400 to replace it....for $43 in parts and 20 minutes of my time I replaced it myself and found the rubber ring around the thermostat had broken and caused the stat to stick open.

Anyway, how do I reset the check engine light. I think the display box for the codes is under the passenger seat, but it doesn't look totally straight forward to get to.

Thanks!

The dealer needs to do it or someone with a code reader. You might try a hard reboot where you disconnect the battery and and connect the neg and pos leads together for 10 minutes. I think that clears all faults, I think there is a post around here about it.

Any OBDII scanner will do the job, or even some Auto parts stores will do it for free.
