Resetting the check engine light on the Chevy Malibu is a simple process that can be done in 4 to 8 minutes of your own time. Start by heading to the driver's side of your car and entering. Then, focus on the dashboard and insert your key into the ignition. Swiftly turn it to the on position and then back off, being careful not to engage the engine. Repeat this process twice in rapid succession. This will completely clear the check engine light, so it won't show up on your dashboard anymore.
What if the car has a push-button ignition? It belongs to my daughter, so I haven't checked for a key switch yet. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I recently spent $400 to get rid of the check engine light, but it appeared again just 15 minutes after leaving the shop. What steps should I take now?
Here's a paraphrased and unique version:
"To clear a check engine light on a Malibu, simply insert your key into the ignition, turn the car on for a brief moment, and then turn it off just as quickly.
I replaced two sensors on a 2001 Chevy Malibu, but the check engine light is still on. What might be causing this issue?
Give it a try by switching it off and then back on once.
It was successful.
It's not functioning properly for me.
I tried the suggestion of turning it on and off briefly, and it fixed the issue with my 2015 Malibu.
Consider seeking a different mechanic to have your car serviced by, as the current one may lack the necessary skills or integrity.
Thanks a lot
