Disconnect the battery:
1. Open the hood of your Acura Vigor.
2. Locate the negative battery terminal (usually marked with a "-" sign).
3. Using a wrench or socket, loosen the nut or bolt that holds the negative battery cable in place.
4. Remove the negative battery cable from the terminal.
5. Wait for a few minutes to allow the car's electrical system to discharge.
Reconnect the battery:
6. After a few minutes, reconnect the negative battery cable to the terminal.
7. Tighten the nut or bolt to secure the cable.
8. Close the hood of your car.
By disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, you have effectively reset the car's computer and cleared the check engine light. If the check engine light was due to a temporary issue, resetting the computer may resolve the problem.
However, if the check engine light comes back on or if it was due to a more serious underlying issue, you will need to address the cause of the problem before the light will turn off permanently. This may involve diagnosing and repairing the faulty component or sensor that triggered the check engine light.
If you do not feel comfortable performing these steps or if the check engine light persists, it is recommended to consult with a qualified mechanic or visit an authorized Acura dealership for further assistance.
