Hey guys, I need the manner to clear a check engine light in my wifes 2001 3.3 l caravan. I cleaned and replaced a couple of sensors and the van is fine but I can't clear the code and it makes my wife nervous to drive any help is appreciated. Thanks
I don't remember the exact count right now but IF everythigng is repaired and operating as designed the code will clear itself in 'I think' 50 warm up cycles

Does it clear or does the light just go off? Some codes will turn the light off after 3 warm up cycles w/no fault,but the code remains in history.Most codes will clear after 40 warm-ups(trips) with out a fault.

The light goes off, which is really what the OP wants to make the wife happy . If his light is not going off then he has not corrected the problem.

Thanks guys, I guess time will tell if I fixed the problem if in a week or so the light doesnt go out or the van acts up again I'll have to go get the diagnosic tool. Henry
No autozone or advance auto nearby ? Sears has an Actron code reader , pocket size that just reads codes and will erase them for about 60 bucks .
