Can you reset the Service Engine Soon light on a 2003 Mitsubishi Galant GTZ without taking it to dealership?

Here are the steps to reset the Service Engine Soon light on your 2003 Mitsubishi Galant GTZ without taking it to the dealership:

1. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position, but do not start the engine.

* Do not press the gas pedal.

2. Locate the diagnostic connector under the hood of your Galant.

* It is usually located near the battery or fuse box.

* On your 2003 Galant GTZ, it is behind the fuse box cover in the engine bay.

* It has a black plastic cover with a red or orange button.

3. Press and hold the red or orange button on the connector.

* Keep holding the button until the Service Engine Soon light starts to flash (about 5-10 seconds).

4. Release the button and turn the key to the "OFF" position.

5. Wait a few seconds and then turn the key to the "ON" position (do not start the engine).

* The Service Engine Soon light should now be reset and turned off.

Note: If the Service Engine Soon light is still on after following these steps, it may indicate a more serious problem with the vehicle that requires professional diagnosis and repair.

* In that case, it is recommended to take your Galant to a qualified mechanic for further inspection.
