How to Reset the Check Engine Light on an Acura TL

The "Check Engine" light on an Acura TL indicates that there is a problem with the engine or electrical-related components on the vehicle. Once you've fixed the problem, you must reset the "Check Engine" light. This is because the on-board diagnostic system stores an error code causing the light to stay on. To reset the light, you need a special tool from Honda/Acura, called a diagnostic reset tool.
