How do you reset the check engine light on a 1997 Kia Sephia?

To reset the check engine light on your 1997 Kia Sephia:

1. Make sure the engine is completely off.

2. Find the OBD-II port under the dashboard, usually near the driver's side footwell. It's a 16-pin connector typically covered by a plastic cap.

3. Purchase an OBD-II scanner or borrow one from a local auto parts store. Connect the OBD-II scanner to the port.

4. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position, but don't start the engine.

5. Follow the prompts on the OBD-II scanner to access the vehicle's diagnostic trouble codes.

6. Once you have the trouble code, use the scanner to reset it.

7. Turn off the ignition and disconnect the OBD-II scanner.

8. Start the engine to verify the check engine light is off.

If the check engine light comes back on, there may be an underlying issue with your vehicle that requires professional attention.
