Re: Resetting Service Engine Soon light....

They should have been able to reset the code when they had the scanner hooked up - I think they have to specifically command it to clear the codes though so they might not have done it. I think the number of drive cycles to turn the light off varies depending on the code - could be anywhere from 5 cycles to 20 or more maybe? Also, having the light go out does not mean the codes are cleared from the computer, they have to be cleared by a scanner or one of the methods jdwyer mentioned; so you really do want to get the codes cleared so next time you know if it has actually repeated.
