how do i turn my check engine light off on a 95 zuk sidekick?

Question

the book says there is a switch on a red, white, and blue wire at the base of the steering column but i can find it

Answer 1

Your little SUV is not OBD II compliant, so the code reader at the parts stores won't be of help to you. Look in the fuse block, and remove the fuse(s) related to the computer; marked "ECM", "ECU", "MEM", "BACK-UP", or "PCM" or "Engine Control" and leave it out for > 2 minutes, then replace it.
If you have done the required repairs for the problem that set the code and turned the light on in the first place, it will be out until the next powertrain management problem arises.

Good Luck

Answer 2

Unhook the negative (black) lead to your battery for approx. 5 min, this should reset your CPU. If the light comes back on you really should take your car in to a mechanic. If your at all savvy with automobiles you can go to a Kragen or autozone store and they will let you use a scanner to pull a possible code for your check engine light. the code will give you a good idea about what may be wrong with your suzuki, but you may need a owners manual to see what the code means (if you get one). it could be as simple as a loose gas cap or as serious as a misfire or many other causes. Good luck.

i own a repair shop,and the switch is sort of in under the dash area right under the column on it,its not very big and it will turn the light off or reset it for you,and if it comes back on again you,ll have to have it scanned ,you can take it to any auto zone store and have it done for free ,and they can tell you whats causing it to come on good luck with it,i hope this help,s.

I don't have 95 zuk, but unhooking the car battery did the trick for my toyota.

Answer 5

get auto parts store or mechanic to hook to computer and reset.
Also, replace your gas cap and always keep it tight.
