You can clear the Check Engine light on your 95 Ford Escort using a computerized tool called an OBD I scanner.

Plug the OBD I scanner into the DLC port.

3

Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position. This will power on the scanner.

4

Select the "Clear Codes" or similar option. Wait for the scanner to return to the main menu. This will indicate that the task has been completed.

5

Unplug the scanner and start the engine. Verify that the Check Engine light has shut off.
