Hello,

I have a 1998 Chevrolet Malibu. If I replace the EGR valve, with the check engine light on, how do I clear the computer to make the check engine light go off. I've already replaced the O2 sensors. The last on my list is the EGR valve. I was told, once I clear the computer, I have to drive it for so many miles before the computer registers everything. Is this true ? And if so, how many miles does it have to be driven ? Thanks for reading my question.

Best regards...

you will have to have the codes cleareed with a scan tool, yes it will take at least 2 drive cycles to let the computer recheck for proper operations of egr and show it as a "pass" monitor, get your codes cleared and drive as you normally would, have a great day!
