Reset check engine light on 1996 chevy 1500?

To reset the check engine light on a 1996 Chevy 1500, you can disconnect the negative battery cable for about 15 minutes. This will clear the vehicle's computer memory and turn off the light. Alternatively, you can use an OBD-I scanner to clear the codes if you have access to one. Keep in mind that if the underlying issue causing the light to turn on is not resolved, the light will likely come back on.
