Why are autozone and pepboys now telling people they can only read and not reset CEL’s that is such BS… its not illegal to reset a CEL becaust it resets the readyness state of the entire ECU… I went to autozone and they said its illegal for them to do it, but i was just like well so your telling me you cant, but i can buy a scan tool from you and DIY… morons ---

This pep boys autozone thing gets sticky. Legally they cannot diagnosis cars without being a registered repair shop. All they can do is tell you what code is stored in the pcm. I assume that not clearing it makes them feel they are not doing a repair. The whole reading codes things has been in and out of legal dept’s for some time. If you ever need a code read i’m happy to help. If you’ve ever attended a diagnosis training program the first thing they tell you is never to clear a code. If you’ve fixxed the problem the light will reset itself after the next drive cycle. ---
