Default How do i disable engine check light?

Hey guys, I was curious to find out, how do i disable my engine check light from never coming on? Is there a fuse i can pull? I'm just sick of the light appearing for my "cat" I just don't want to see the light at all, curious to see if there is a way of getting rid of it? I know if i reset the car it will get rid of it, but only for a little while. Anybody know the answer to this issue?

Do not just disconnect your CEL. Just get the defoulers to fix the light. That way you will be able to tell if you have a CEL for something that is more serious.

Cel is an important light.

But for your specific problem u can use spark fouler.


if you hate your CEL, and u are aware that OTHER problems could be solved by the CEL warning, THEN, you can easily remove the check engine BULB behind the cluster.

CEL for running TP instead of a cat, install defoulers
CEL for o2, change o2
CEL for cat deficiency, change cat
