How do you shut off the check engine light on an IS300?

hah hah hah hah hah hah

well yea fix the issue but lets say you did and it didnt turn off you need to reset it, you have a few options, unplug the battery for a few min/use a scanner tool/or if there is no problem and you just dont want to see the light you can take the gauge pod out and remove the bulb for it

i had to do this cause i put my headers in and it causes a CEL and i have yet to get around to getting an o2 simulator

If you already fixed the problem, check your owner's manual to be exact, but I believe that you have to hold the odometer reset button while starting the car and it should count down from 5 dashes to 1 and then it should be reset.
