There are several methods you can use to reset the check engine light on a 2011 Honda Element. One simple approach is to drive the car for a while and see if the light turns off on its own. Another easy option is to disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes and check if that resets the light. If these steps do not work, you will need a code scanner to reset the light. Connect the scanner to the port located beneath the driver's side dashboard, start the car, and activate the scanner to display the error code. Use the scanner's reset function to turn off the light, disconnect the scanner, and restart the vehicle.
Here's a rephrased and unique version: Utilize the reset feature on the scanner to communicate with the car's computer and turn off the warning light. After unplugging the scanner and switching off the engine, wait for one to two minutes before restarting the car. The light should now stay off.
