When the check engine light in your Toyota RAV4 comes on, it means the vehicle's computer has detected a problem with one of its systems, typically the emissions system. Once you have fixed the issue, you will need to reset the light so it can alert you if another problem arises. If a professional handles the repair, they will reset the light for you. But if you do the repair yourself, you can follow these steps to turn off the light: Disconnecting the battery for about 15 minutes will reset the light, but it will also erase your radio stations and other settings. Alternatively, you can reset the light by removing and re-installing the EFiMAIN and ETCS fuses in the underhood fuse panel after waiting a few minutes. This method should clear the check engine light without affecting other systems.

To switch off the check engine light in a Toyota RAV4, insert your key into the ignition and turn it to the position before starting the car. Next, press and hold the trip meter reset button on the dashboard, then turn the key to the second position. Hold the odometer button for about ten seconds. You should see the RAV4's light flash, possibly beep, and then turn off. When the light goes out, let go of the odometer button and start the car.
