- If you own a Dodge or Chrysler and you have a check engine light on, here's how you can find out what that means and how to reset it. But don't forget to fix the problem....resetting the light does not fix the problem.

Not only does this guy have a cool North-East Accent, he tells you some good knowledge about the Dodge engine light. This video has helped me get the codes and it clears the engine light. Nice job!! Now I will go Paark My Caaar at Haaarvard Yaaaard.
Thanks.
Totally cool. Thank you so much. Yeah, I was driving down the interstate this morning and that check engine light just popped up. Got to my destination, pulled out the owners manual, didn't find out anything helpful. So now I am back home and will go over to that van and try that and see what happens.
Thanks brother, I should have googled this earlier today and just sent you the check for 100 bucks instead of letting the dodge dealer to tell me my gas cap had a leak
I just tried this for my 98 Durango which had a "Check Engine" light on. It worked perfectly. 👍👍👍👍 . Thanks brother
2017-03-26 ... Scott, you're an engineering genius! I discovered my Dodge Dakota 2001 engine error code just like you instructed (P 0302) ... Thanks !!!
This little trick worked perfectly on a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan. Thanks to you I was able to look up the code and make an informed decision. Appreciate the info!
worked for me. As a 60 yr old lady they see me coming... fixed my thermostat and coolent temp sensor.
Cool! Glad it worked for you. Thanks for your comment.
This tip got rid of the Check Engine Light on my 1997 GMC Safari Mini Van.
Thanks for the tip.Great to learn and now know.
Scott, THANK YOU! Much needed information in desperate times. You really came through for me.
Sweet! Worked on my '05 T&C van. Evap control system malfunction. Thanks for the video.
Oh my gosh!! Thank you!! You just became my You Tube Hero of the month!
I nust bought 2003 Chrysler Town & Country LX from a dodge dealership. It is super clean one owner. 2 days after 34 miles of driving I have check engine light. Ill check for code now.
I learned this a few days ago and tried for the heck of it and got P done. I did not push the trip meter this model was just the 3 key turns.
Thanks
Thanks. Worked like a dream on my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500. This may answer some questions going on for years.
You sir, are amazing. Thanks so much.
God Bless you, I am praying this works. I need to get my emissions done and can't because the check engine light is on. I pray this works!
I never knew you could check it. Omg, it does. This is awesome. I changed the part and it runs well but engine light is still on and this gave me the same code for the issue. I'm still amazed that it gives you the code. Thank you. Useful to know.
You can reset the engine light also. There's several ways. I have a few videos on that. If you need help, let me know.
And don't forget to suscribe to my channel!
Thanks
Dude, checkin in from Waltham. That was a wicked life sava. Much Thanks
Hey Scott, thanks for the video! It's invaluable!
For other CEL researchers: After I tried Scott's advice and didn't quite get the results I needed, it kind of led me to tinker with the method. I quickly turned the key on and off 3 times (without pressing the trip button) and the code popped up right where Scott said it would. No trick to turn off the CEL worked for me though, so I went with the tried and true "pull off the positive battery cable."
Thanks a bunch man. This helped me out. P.S. pressure switch is done. You saved me at least one trip and with 3 little kids that helped out.
Thanks hulk Hogen
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks for the tip Scott. I've got a 2002 Dodge Durango. Tried your suggestion and got P0456. I'll google and see what the problem is then , schedule it in with my mechanic
This worked flawlessly on my 2000 Dodge Durango the very first time. Check engine came on a week ago. I change the spark plugs. Run much smoother now. 2 codes still show though (P1281 & P0301). I'll have to work on those. Excellent piece of information. Thank you for sharing.
P1281Engine coolant temperature remains below normal operating temperatures during vehicle travel.
Change your thermostate valve.
P0301Misfire detected in cylinder #1. **
Being you changed the plugs. Maybe its a bad plug wire on 1.
Hope i helped
Thats interesting, Jean. I noticed that driver side front (spark plug #1 ) looked worse that the others. Changed all the plugs. Runs much better now. Wires dont look bad. Bought new rotor, cap and thermostat. Will find time and replace them too soon enough. Thank you for the follow up assistance.
I have a 2000 dodge Durango also 4.7 liter 4X4 I get code p1281 and p0551. How can we get the light to turn off. I just had my motor rebuilt last week
Jazman Boyd
Your first code is because your engine is staying cold for too long. Could be the wrong thermostat or maybe the wrong antifreeze. Make sure your thermostat is rated for 195 degrees.
You second code involves your power steering.
Disconnect your battery to make the light go out.
Thank you so much. I was worried that I had something majorly wrong with my car but I followed your instructions and there was no code and it worked on my 2012 Dodge Avenger
Cool. Glad it worked for you. I'm planning some more helpful video's soon.
On my 2003 caravan it showed the codes. Now I have to try and find the problem.
Thanks, that was a great start.
Dodge Dakota 2011. Going to try it when get home later! Thanks for posting!
Thanks Scott, this has helped me multiple times and definitely saved me money and TIME!!! Gratitude!!
+Kathryn Burritt
Good to hear.
I've done this with my 05 dodge neon it really is handy to know
This is really handy thank you. You saved me a fortune!
We had an error code and watched this video- saved us on my son's 2002 Dakota!
Good to hear! I did this video in a 2002 Dakota. Great truck.
Worked on my 2003 Dodge Neon thanks man!
Worked like a charm on my 2002 Dodge Durango
Thank you! Got the code P0441. Going to try replacing the gas cap and go from there. I wasn't able to reset the check engine light but still got the code. Thank you! Saved me time and money.
Thanks much!! I have a 99 dodge caravan , the check engine soon light comes on once in a while. I always end up cleaning and disconnect the battery terminals, put it back on and all is good. Got to love electronic gigitry!! We used to call them idiot lights. Now I know how to clear the irritating thing!!!!
This was very helpful. Thank you.
You rock!
Wish you could unravel the same mysteries for a FORD... :'(
Thanks! This worked for me. 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 6.7L. Check engine light came on after I changed the batteries. Had to do a slight variation from what you stated. I keyed the ignition key three times as stated in the video, but had to hold the trip button down a fourth time while keying the ignition switch on again. Never saw the p-done, but all the gauge lights lit up. The analog needle meters (speedometer, RPM, temp, fuel, oil) went through a series of point positions (moving and stopping at various numbers/positions), and then all lights and gauges went off. When I started the truck next - the check engine light was off. Thanks again!
Really wow I have not heard that work on a 6.7 especially on an 08
Glad you liked the video. Always good to save money.
I so appreciated your vid! My wife got stranded with a loss of power. She just got gas, and the attendant did not put the cap back on, and I suspected this failed the ecm. Your vid tells me that's why the fuel pump failed. Thank you. would
so if the light comes back on I have to go get it checked correct? mine said "gas cap loose" so i tightened tis twice...checked the oil, etc. nothing low
@@judywinters8615 if it's the gas cap then tighten it. Don't worry because the light will go out on its own after you drive it so many times. Maybe two or more times. If it doesn't, then you might need a new gas cap or you can try cleaning it. I cleaned mine the last time this happened to me.
Thank you it worked!
it worked great thanks for that video..i change the air temp censer..but the light been on for 3 weeks and of course the dealer wanted to put it on his money making computer to clear it and charge me big bucks .. but your trick did it ....
great.....keep those bucks where they belong, right in your pocket.
Worked like a charm! Saved me some money! Thanks!
my codes were p-0551, & 1684.
0551- switch failure incorrect imput state detected for power steering...
1684 - battery lost in the last 50 starts the battery has been disconnected within the last 50 starts.
those were the two codes that came up during the procedure once I fix the problem i reset by pushing the button. this trip was very helpful it was actually priceless. thank you for sharing. I also have a 1999 Yukon this will be helpful different procedure could tell me the same similar outcome.
mr ok so your p1684 code went away for good
Thank you my man!!!! I’m such a dumbass when it comes to cars. I regret never paying attention when my dad fixed the cars growing up.
Wow, thank you for the information! I think I have low coolant, but I'm not sure, I'm going to try this and find out!
Thank you, you just saved me money.
Scott I have to thank you for being the first person to actually tell me something practical and saved me tons of money....your are awesome!.......Do you have any suggestions as to why my fan dial for heat/cool won't work on the first three settings?I have to have the heat/cool,on the highest setting only,for the fan inside the van to work....Thanks Scott
Works on the 2015 jeep renegade. Thanks dude!
Worked on my o4 durango thanks!
Works with a Nissan Note too! Many thanks from Glasgow, Scotland.
Worked exactly as you showed...thanks a bunch
Glad I could help out!
cool!
I knew how to get and decipher the code, but not how to clear code. It worked to clear code on my 2000 Dakota. Thank You P.S. "Evap system Leak" may be as simple as the gas cap not tight. embarrased
For those it doesn't work for, try doing it a bit faster. It didn't work for me at first but when I went off and on 3 times, quicker than in the vid, it worked perfectly. P0300, thanks for the vid Scott.
Hey wow....thanks for that info! I bet that's the reason it hasn't worked for everybody. I never thought of that. It makes sense. Thanks again.
Thanks man ! saved me some cash.
thank you so much man for posting
Worked on my 2009 Grand Caravan! Thank you!
Hey you're welcome. Glad I was able to help you out.
Mine will tell me the code but wont reset? Am I doing something wrong?
worked like a charm on my 2003 dodge ram!! ty :)
Sarah Bronson do you have the 5.7?
Good information. Thank you for the tip.
That is amazing. Thank you so much.
Thank you, Scott!
Cheers!
Ride Forever-Work Whenever
I hear ya Bro.
Thanks! Tried this and got a 0700 code. TCM fault. Even if there still is something wrong its better to have a hint on what it is.
Thanks for the tip! Just went out and tried it, and apparently I just need any oil change! Even though my sticker says I am not quite due! (2013 Dodge Avenger)
did you have to do it exactly how he says? And did it matter whether it was set on trip A or B? I can't figure it out on my avenger lol
Thank you!! I love your accent!! 🫶❤️👏
You're welcome. And thanks for your comment!
man you just saved me $100! thanks!
cool....that's what it's all about
Holy shit that actually worked! Thanks man!
This is great! Thanks for the tip. I just did a lot of body work and the CEL is on. Clearly there is a ground wire or something not making contact on the new fender (I never touched the engine) This procedure may help me work out where the problem is. Thanks!
You can also take it to an auto parts store and ask them to read the code for you.
thanks for the great info.......
wow been trying to find a shop for 2 weeks will try today
Thanks, my dad couldn't find his code reader, ill do this tomorrow and drive it to make sure they don't come back.
Good Stuff Budy!Thankyou
thanks for your help my car working perfectly
Wow..thanks a lot Mr Prado ..it worked great.
Thank you Scott appreciate the help, hope all is well
You're welcome and thanks for your comment.
Worked on my 2011 Dodge Ram. It has to be in the Trip A screen for it to work.
worked fine on my 2005 grand caravan,, thanks
Glad I could help. As for your heater fan.....your heater blower motor circuit card has stopped working. You need to replace it if you want the slower speeds back. You can do it yourself. Save your money. Shop around the auto parts stores for the best deal. Then come back to youtube and type in "auto blower motor replacement". There's lots of videos on here showing you exactly how to replace it. It's not that hard. I did mine in about 30 minutes. It only cost me $35 for the part.
Good luck.
Very helpful, thank you!
Glad you liked the tip.
Tried it it works...thanks
worked in my 98 Concorde. Thanks
Worked just like you said it would. P 1684 Battery disconnected in the last 50 starts.
On my 2005 Sebring, it's a bit more complicated. The Trip reset is done by two buttons on a separate mini-panel. I had first used the On-Off-On-Off-On method and got the codes, which warned me basically that I was low on coolant. Now that I've replaced the coolant, no codes. When I went to the Trip Reset message, I noticed that first I got a jumble of every display it has, followed by "Pass". Which I presume means it now has no codes. But the light's still on. SInce the light went out on its own a few weeks ago, I'm waiting to see if that happens again.
I really appreciate this walk-through. Thanks.
your'e welcome
Thanks Scott, my engine light just went on and i panicked wondering what it was. At least I can check it and see what the problem is.
thank you sir for the video
Totally works. Thanks so much!
Very Good Information... Thank You for sharing...
you're welcome
You are awesome!
Fantastic - thank you!!!
Thanks very helpful.
Thanks Scott! This didn't work on my 1999 Dakota. Any tips for that year/model?
hi , this was great I found two codes going to look them up now. This was very helpful thank you for posting it. it is for a Dodge Neon 2001 4 door.
Glad I could help. Good luck getting it fixed.
+Scott Prado yes. You was very helpful I am subscribing. keep up the useful help and tips,
best wishes to you.
Outstanding, thanks for sharing that.
glad I could help
I will check this test later tonight on a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500
thanks for the tips!
I am going to try this today on my 2002 Durango. Check engine light came on after it was vapor locked from running out of had and i never got the light turned off. Now my tags are up and smog is due and they won't touch it with the light on. Hopefully this or the battery disconnect works ! Will let you know. Thanks for posting. :-)
Hey how did you make out?
It worked! Passed smog and got my new tags on the day they were due to expire. :-)
Cool.
thanks Hulkster
Hey Scott...I did this today BC light came on but after it displayed all dashes on trip meter it said done and that's it but check engine light is still on
Hello sir i own a 2002 Dodge Durango SLT and every time I put the key into the run position the normal chimes you normally hear cut out and all of my lights flicker inside and out.... and when my lights are turned on and I open the driver door the chimes do the same thing with the engine off... any ideas would be much appreciated thank you
Thanks for the info!
Hey thanks brother my engine light came on , I did what you said ! and the light dissapear !!!!!
Thanks ... it worked on my Dodge Stratus 2.7. I got a Code P 1684 - "Battery disconnect within last 50 starts." So, I'll clean the battery terminals under the wheel well in front of the front left wheel. Im not sure yet how to turn off the engine light but maybe after I disconnect the cables and reconnect them it will go off. The car has been weird to start lately...before it always started fast, just a turn of the key, now sometimes it cranks, but sometimes pops right off. Im thinking maybe its a Engine Coolant Temp Sensor...If I replace it, and it fixes the startup, Im still not sure the engine light will come off....blaa blaa blaa...thanks anyway, the video is a good help.
Looks like it worked. Thanks
