How to Reset a 2005 Hyundai Elantra Computer

How to Reset a 2005 Hyundai Elantra Computer

You can reset the computer on your 2005 Hyundai Elantra from your driveway or garage to save yourself time and money. The On Board Diagnostic computer keeps track of all the mechanical and electrical functions of your vehicle. When it receives a trouble code, it sends an alert to you in the form of a warning light on the Elantras instrument panel. The computer also keeps track of the vehicles regular maintenance needs. After you have had the car serviced or repaired, you need to reset the light in order to keep the computer functioning properly.

Instructions

    1

    Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "on" position. Do not start the engine.

    2

    Find the Elantras diagnostic port under the dashboard near the hood release lever.

    3

    Plug the computerized scan tool into the diagnostic port. Use the arrows on the faceplate of the scan tool to navigate to the "body module" on the menu. Next you should select "clear all codes." This will reset the vehicles computer.

    4

    Unplug the scan tool and start the engine. Verify that all warning and service lights have turned off of the dash.
