Hi All,

How do I turn off the check engine light?

MAKE & MODEL OF VEHICLE!!!!

Why do you even bother to post without providing that information?

What is wrong with ME that I even bother to reply?

The car won't pass inspection
with it on.

In many areas '96 up won't pass inspection unless all the self
diagnostic monitors have run and passed. Turning off the check engine
lights resets these so they all have to run again. Presumably
whatever caused the check engine light to come on will cause it to
come on again by the time the monitors are complete. Just in case you
are having trouble getting it, it will either fail for monitors
incomplete or the detected fault which you are apparently loath to
have diagnosed and repaired.

Of course since you chose to withhold the make and model of your
vehicle as well as where the vehicle is registered -- which determines
what the applicable emissions standards are -- any answer you receive
from me or anyone else is 98% speculative and useless.

I tried disconnecting the battery but nothing happened.

That normally won't erase fault codes on 96 or newer.
But, for all we know, this is a heavy duty diesel and not OBDII
compliant.

Why not spend the money on getting the problem diagnosed?

Has anyone tried similar one?
