It doesn’t take much to do a RAM check engine light reset. If you have a newer model you can rid yourself of the check engine light in just three easy steps. If you drive an older RAM you might need to drive around Guntersville for about 50 miles before the light turns off.

1. Disconnect the negative cable on your battery.
