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.
