FW: <VV> RE: Inspections for Antique/Emissions

[Brandes, Guy]

In Illinois, the 1st thing they check on emissions is to see if the
check engine light is working, a loose gas cap can turn the light on in
newer cars.

Couldn't you just cycle power (disconnect the battery) to reset the
light?
As a last resort you could just remove the bulb. Since you were not
going to pay the dealer to reset the light and drive around with it on,
you wouldn't be using it as a warning light anyhow, so why waste the
electricity?

Not entirely sure a bout new Subarus but the older ones had that light
come on automatically at 30,000 mile increments to get you to bring the
car in for "service" at your friendly neighborhood Subaru dealership
which is the only place you can find a diagnostics computer that's
programmed to turn the damned light off.
