What they did
While driving, the user told the agent that the engine light had come on. The agent ordered an OBD2 reader on Amazon, read the result, identified a sensor problem and cleared the light.
How it went
According to the post, the problem was solved and he saved time and money.
Good to know
Clearing the light does not fix the cause; if it comes back, take it to a mechanic.
