How to Reset the Codes on a 1998 Chevy S 10 Blazer
Before you reset the codes on your 98 Chevy S-10 Blazer, you need to have the codes read and have the vehicle serviced or repaired by a qualified mechanic. If you dont, the warning and service lights will turn themselves back on. The functions of the Blazer are monitored by an On-Board Diagnostics II computer. When sensors positioned throughout the vehicle detect a problem, they send a trouble code to the computer, which can then be read using an OBD II scanner. This scanner can be purchased from any auto parts store.
Instructions

Open the door on the drivers side of the Blazer and find the data/diagnostic link connector, known as DLC, on the lower part of the dashboard. It can be found near the parking brake pedal.
2Plug the scanner into the DLC.
3Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "ACC" position, but dont start the engine.
4Press the "Erase" key on the scanner to erase the codes and reset the computer. Each scanner is a bit different depending on the manufacturer. So the code may be "Delete" instead or something similar.
5Wait for the menu on the scanner to indicate the task has been completed.
6Unplug the scanner and start the engine. Examine the instrument panel to make sure all warning and service lights have turned off.
