Resetting the engine light on the Chevrolet Cruze is a straightforward process that can be done in just 4 to 8 minutes of your time. To start, go to the driver's side of your vehicle, open the door, and enter. Check your dashboard and if you have fixed the underlying issue causing the light to come on, such as a loose gas cap, you can insert the key into the ignition, start the engine, then turn it off. Repeat this process two more times for a total of 3 cycles of starting and turning off the engine in quick succession. This should effectively turn off the engine light.
I don't believe that the engine was turned off and on three times.
How do I reset the check engine light on a 2016 Chevy Cruze?
How can I clear the engine check light on a 2010 Chevrolet Cruze?
Turn off the warning light on a 2010 Chevy Cruze without using a scanner.
In 2016, my Chevy Cruze with a 1.4L turbo engine consistently hesitates to start after refueling. The engine light also comes on during this time. Strangely, once the fuel level reaches half a tank, the light goes off. What should I do to address this issue?
To reset the check engine light, simply turn the engine off and on three times.
It didn't do the trick for me, but I discovered a method that does. Press and hold the reset button located at the end of the left control arm while turning the ignition key from the off position to on three times (without starting the engine).
Here's my unique paraphrase: It does work - my check engine light came on because of a throttle body problem during a snowstorm, but when I turned the car off and on three times, the light went off. Remember to open the door and completely take out the key every time for this solution to succeed.
I just experimented with the "three times thing" in three different ways. Removing the negative battery terminal for 30 seconds did the trick and cleared the issue.
The attempted fix was unsuccessful, so it's suggested to disconnect the battery for one minute.
I tinkered with my car's workings until it brought a smile to his face.
Functioned flawlessly
I have attempted various solutions, but not that one. Despite paying $2000 to have it repaired, the issue persists. Assistance would be greatly appreciated.
It can disable the check engine light, but it won't reset any existing check engine light codes.
It was a success! My car has a 6-speed manual transmission. I pressed the clutch all the way down while in 3rd gear, started the engine, turned it off, removed the key entirely, let go of the clutch, and opened and closed the door. I repeated this process four or five times just to be sure.
Starting and stopping the engine three times was very effective. Thank you!
