02 Saturn Vue fault code P0000
 

I've been having a problem getting my new 2002 Saturn Vue to pass smog.
The emisions is great, (I thougth that what smog test is all about), but it
failed because check engine soon light stays on and fault code P0000 is
displayed on the machine.
After looking on line about this code, it looks like the problem the car was
having was fixed but the cars computer was not cleared propperly.
Anyone know how I can clear this fault with out buying any expecive equipment?

Thanks

If the problem is really fixed, several driving cycles (which may take
several days) will clear it. If not, you'll have to take it to someone
with a CAN-compliant ODBII reader to clear it. Your best bet is your
local Saturn retailer - the emissions warranty is 50,000 miles so they
have an obligation to fix whatever's causing the light if I'm not mistaken.
