Answer
To turn the light off try removing the neg battery terminal and wait ten seconds then reconnect it, if you want to find out what the trouble code is find the diagnostic connector under the hood, open the cover and connect a small jumper wire between terminals TE1 and E1 and the check engine light will blink and give you the trouble code, the light will blink a certain number of times for instance a blinkind of 2 times and a short pause and then 3 times would be a number 23 code and so on, give it a try and let me know what you find, by the way the ign key must be in the on position. There may be more than one code starting with the lowest number, there will be a longer pause between each code.
