How to Reset the “Check Engine” Light on Your Cadillac (Without a Trip to the Dealer)

If you’ve ever been greeted by that pesky Check Engine light on your Cadillac, you know it’s like a stubborn relative—it shows up uninvited and refuses to leave.

Before you panic and schedule an expensive dealership visit, here’s the truth: many times, it’s something simple, and you can reset it yourself.

Step-by-Step Guide:

  1. Check the gas cap – Believe it or not, a loose gas cap is one of the most common causes.

  2. Disconnect the battery – Pop the hood, disconnect the negative terminal for 15 minutes, and reconnect it.

  3. Use an OBD-II scanner – Plug in, read the code, fix the issue, and clear the warning.

Pro Tip:
If the light comes back on immediately, it’s not just a glitch—there’s an actual issue. In that case, don’t ignore it.
