1. Use a scan tool to clear the code. This is the most efficient and correct method, as it allows you to identify and fix any underlying problems that may have caused the light to illuminate.
2. Disconnect the battery for at least 10 minutes. This will clear all of the system codes, including the service engine light. However, this method is less reliable and may not always reset the light.
Here are step-by-step instructions for both methods:
Method 1: Using a scan tool
1. Purchase or rent a scan tool that is compatible with your Range Rover.
2. Connect the scan tool to your car's OBD-II port. This port is usually located under the dashboard on the driver's side.
3. Turn on the scan tool and select the option to read or clear fault codes.
4. The scan tool will display a list of all of the active fault codes. Identify the code for the service engine light.
5. Select the option to clear the fault code.
6. Turn off the scan tool and disconnect it from your car's OBD-II port.
7. Start your car and check the dashboard to ensure the service engine light has turned off.
Method 2: Disconnecting the battery
1. Disconnect the negative terminal of your car's battery. This is the black terminal, which is usually marked with a "-" sign.
2. Wait at least 10 minutes.
3. Reconnect the negative terminal of your car's battery.
4. Start your car and check the dashboard to confirm the service engine light has turned off.
