Hi. How do I permanently disable my 1995 Altima's check engine light?
Thanks alot in advance.
WHy would you want to disable it ??? It is their to tell you the vehicle
needs to be checked. A non working CEL will instantly fail a vehicle
inspection

Because the engine light has been on for two years and car runs fine.

CEL turns on for a reason. Something is busted, sensor or something. That
means you will fail the smog check. Or you can remove the bulb. Then the
CEL won't work, and you'll fail the smog test anyways.
Why don't you find out what code the computer is giving to cause the CEL and
fix the problem?

The light often indicates a faulty O2 sensor, and since the '95 has two (one
is redundant), the light should go off after 25 (or so) ignition cycles. If
it doesn't, you may have two faulty sensors - the car will run fine with only
one, aside from the yellow annoyance, but with two out, you are likely to
lose a bit of mileage, but that would usually be all. I have a similar issue
with my own '95, but with mine, the light will go off after a month or so.
Have you noticed a significant drop in the mileage since this started? It
may also be a computer problem, but I haven't heard of anything like that yet,
anyone else?
