Reset check engine light

and.........BUT once the system "resets" after the battery is reconnected and you drive the car to allow all of the sensors to come back on line.....you'll quickly wind up with those same engine codes AGAIN......it becomes a "vicious circle".

BEST ADVICE: Bite the bullet and get the car fixed

Repairing the car would be a ‘best advice’ if my car was a low mileage 986. But it’s not. The value of the car without a CEL would likely be around $10k. Every shop that has seen the car has estimated the repair north of $7k, and that was pre-Covid estimates. Naw, am better off paying the $200 every two years to get the car smogged. I was just hoping there was an easier way.
