Cadillac Repair: Check engine, cadillac coupe deville, 1991 cadillac coupe deville


Question
Hi Tom-

My check engine light came on in the middle of a 330 mile drive and when I pulled over to see if there was a serious problem, I noticed that my coolant was dry due to a hose leak.  I filled the coolant and taped the hose and the car has been running fine (and holding coolant) since.  However, the check engine light is still on and I was wondering if you could tell me how to reset it as I do not have the car manual.  Also, is there anything I can do to make sure that it was indeed the coolant that triggered the light before resetting it or will it automatically come on if there is a different problem?

It is a 1991 Cadillac Coupe Deville with about 102,000 miles.

Thanks so much!

Dana
