Three ways to turn off the engine light.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Warning Light - Car Error Code

In this video, we see three ways to turn off the engine light. Obviously, before turning off the light, we must have resolved the problem that caused the engine light to come on, otherwise we would be doing not only a useless but also a dangerous job. The first method is through the OBD11 reader from the EOBD socket of your car: after reading the code and solving the problem, we can clear the error code. Consequently, the light will also turn off. The second method is to disconnect the negative terminals of the battery. By reconnecting them, the control unit will be restored, but this method has the disadvantage that we will have to re-enter the radio code, all the stored stations, and adjust the date and time. The last method is very simple and only takes a few seconds: in the fuse box, we must look for the ECU fuse (on some cars, it is called ECM), briefly remove the fuse, and then put it back in place. This way, the light will turn off.

How to deactivate the safe lock on a Volkswagen Golf.

The safe lock is indeed an anti-theft system that prevents thieves from accessing the car. This device locks the doors, both externally and internally, when the driver activates the central locking remote control after leaving the vehicle. To permanently disable it, it is necessary to use a diagnostic program such as VCDS that we will connect to the vehicle through the ODBII port. Then wait for the connection and recognition of the control unit and then select the blocks present and locate the safe lock to disable it. And the job will be completed.
