2026 Chevrolet Equinox Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2026 Chevrolet Equinox is straightforward only after the root cause is fixed. At Coggin Chevrolet at the Avenues in Florida, our certified technicians first run a complete diagnostic to capture live data, confirm trouble codes, and verify battery and charging-system health. Many drivers attempt a reset without repair and find the light returns — which can mask intermittent faults and void warranty protections. We use OEM-level scan tools and documented repairs so you get transparent service history and warranty-backed parts. If your light is related to a weak battery, alternator, or electrical fault, replacing the battery with an OEM unit prevents repeated codes and improves reliability. We also discuss preventive steps and service intervals to extend the life of your Equinox. To make it easy, you can schedule service online and review current service specials before you arrive.
