how do i turn off the check engine light?

i have a 94' civic. 5 speed vtec. after driving for about a minute the check engine light comes on. i dont think anything is wrong w/ the car because its been like this for 2 years lol. is there anyway to just turn the light off? like pull a fuse or something? i just dont want it in my face anymore. and i have no money to fix it if something is wrong.

and if youre really serious about just shutting it off, disconnect the battery for a few minutes.. if it keeps coming back, its probably not something you should ignore

its not a hooked up car or anything. its just a beat up old civic that i use as a station car. i just was wondering if it was as simple as pulling a fuse to turn it off.

Re: how do i turn off the check engine light?

also isnt there a way to turn it off temporarily by holding down the odometer button and then putting the key in the ignition and turning the car on and start

Re: how do i turn off the check engine light?

your best bet is removing the bulb for the light OR getting a wiring schematic and findin the wire for the check engine light and SNIP problem solved, The local honda dealer would do it for ya but then why not just FIX the car
