   If you go to AutoZone, why don't you use the Reset function of the Scan   
   Tool? This is a far better way of resetting the Check light.   
      
   Lean can be caused by a vac hose that has come loose, or otherwise is the   
   source of a leak.   
      
   Use the Reset function of the tool to be sure you have actually cleared out   
   the codes, and write the codes down first, then write them down again when   
   the light comes back on. Come here and tell us all of the codes that are on   
   BOTH lists.
