How do you reset using the battery a 1995 Chevy Lumina?

A 1995 Chevy Lumina doesn't have a reset procedure that's accomplished simply by disconnecting the battery. Disconnecting the battery will clear some temporary computer memory (like radio presets), but it won't reset the car's main computer system in a way that would, for example, clear trouble codes or fix a malfunction.

If you're having a problem with your Lumina, disconnecting the battery for a short time (30 minutes to an hour) might help with minor glitches, but it's not a general-purpose reset. If you're trying to address a specific problem (like a check engine light), you'll need a more targeted approach, such as:

* Addressing the underlying issue: The check engine light, for example, indicates a problem that needs to be diagnosed and repaired, not just reset.

* Using an OBD-II scanner: This tool can read and clear trouble codes. A 1995 model might require an OBD-I scanner instead, depending on the specific system.

* Consulting a repair manual: A repair manual specific to your 1995 Chevy Lumina will detail any specific reset procedures.

In short, disconnecting the battery is a rudimentary step that might temporarily resolve minor electrical gremlins, but it's not a comprehensive reset mechanism. To fix most problems, you'll need to diagnose the root cause.
