It is not possible to reset the check engine light on a vehicle as it activates when there is an issue with the car, which can be caused by various factors. Therefore, it is not advisable to spend time trying to identify a random problem unless it is overtly noticeable. The best course of action is to take the car to a mechanic who can use an OBD tool to scan and retrieve the trouble code to pinpoint the issue accurately. Once the problem is identified, it can be fixed, and the light will turn off. However, it is recommended to first check the gas cap and fuel door as a missing cap or open door can trigger the light unnecessarily. This is an easy fix that does not require a mechanic's expertise, so it is wise to check this before seeking professional help.
