My buddy bought an 89 Chevy Beretta yesterday for $300 (and the damn thing runs pretty good.)
Problem, the tags are expired and so it needs new registration and needs to pass emissions.
Now, from the way it runs it should pass emmisions no problem, BUT it has the "Service Engine Soon" light on. It's an automatic fail if the light is on during the test.
So my buddy needs to get it fixed, but for cheap. I know he can take it to a mechanic but he is really trying to avoid putting a lot of money in to the vehicle. Other than the typical maintence and any repairs that may arise down the road.
I see GM ODB-I code readers which could pull the codes, but how does one go about resetting the computer to turn off the light? I'd like to reset the computer to see if the light will come back on again.
Thanks!
