How to Reset the Engine Light on the Chrysler Voyager

When the Chrysler Voyager's computerized engine-management system finds a potential problem, it triggers a "Check Engine" light in the instrument cluster. This light can be reset with the use of a scan tool, which can be purchased or rented from most auto-parts stores. It's important to remember that even if the error code has been cleared, the light will illuminate again if the originating issue has not been fixed. Before proceeding with this reset procedure, ensure all necessary repairs are complete. The scanner can pinpoint the exact issue to determine which part to repair or replace.

Things You'll Need

  • Digital code scanner
  • Owner's manual
  • Remove the cover on the OBD link connector, which is located beneath the dash under the steering wheel. If necessary, consult the Voyager's owner's manual, which has detailed instructions on the location of the diagnostic connector.

  • Plug the code scanner into the OBD port. Models produced before 1996 will require an OBD-I code scanner, while later models will require an OBD-II scanner. Turn the ignition to the "On" position, then switch the code reader on by pressing the power button.

  • Press the arrow keys on the code reader to navigate down the list of options. Select the option to read error codes and press the "Enter" key. Select each code, then choose "Erase" and press "Enter". Since the user interface varies from one code scanner to the next, consult the documentation that came with your scanner for detailed instructions on how to reset error codes.

  • Disconnect the code reader, start the engine and check the dash to confirm that the light has been reset.
