To clear the engine management light on the BMW 1 Series, also known as the engine control light, you can reset the battery by disconnecting the positive and negative cables for about 10 minutes. It's important to address any underlying issues causing the light to come on before clearing the message, or it may reappear. You can also reset the OBD scanner by connecting it to the car and using it to clear the light. OBD scanners typically cost between $50 and $100, depending on the brand and features. If you prefer not to purchase one, you can usually borrow an OBD scanner from an auto parts store for a small fee.
