How do I reset my check engine light to pass inspection

There is no free way to pass here if you have a code that keeps setting in the computer. You need to fix the issue, drive the car and make sure that all the readiness codes are set. Alex

ain't going to happen quick.either replace the bad part,or you might get autozone to clear it for you,BUT it's most likely going to come back on.if somehow you can get it off and maybe get lucky like last year,maybe disconnecting the battery? BUT,then all your readiness monitors reset to not ready and you'll have to do a drive cycle,maybe 50-100 miles normal driving to get them to set to ready.NC allows this>>>> • 1996 through 2000 model year vehicles are allowed to complete the OBD II inspection with up to two monitors set as not ready • 2001 through current year model vehicles are allowed to complete the OBD II inspection with one monitor set as not ready...good luck

I'm glad I live in Virginia!
