How to Reset the Check Engine Light on a 2001 Grand Am

The 2001 Pontiac Grand Am is a compact car produced by General Motors. You can reset the "Check Engine" light on your 01 Pontiac Grand Am right from your home garage. This will save you a trip to the dealer or mechanic. With an OBD II code scanner you can complete this task in about 10 minutes. This computerized diagnostic tool can be purchased or borrowed from any auto parts store. Make sure to read the trouble codes with the code scanner first and have any necessary repairs made before resetting the computer and shutting off the "Check Engine" light.

Instructions

    1

    Plug the OBD II code scanner into the OBD II port just to the left of the steering column on the dashboard.

    2

    Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position. Make sure you dont start the engine.

    3

    Select the "Read Codes" or similar command on the code scanner. Then select "Delete Codes." Wait for the code scanner to return to the main menu.

    4

    Unplug the code scanner from the port and start the engine. Make sure that the "Check Engine" light has shut off.
