No, If you get an OBDII controller and turn off the light, the garage will know. They will know because your van's computer will tell them that not enough time has passed for the light to be on or off (since you reset the light); diagnostics in the computer need a certain amount of driving time to put the light on or not. They'll give you your van back and say bring it back in after a 100 miles or so. Then your light will be back on.
Another way to put it is that there are three results when you hook you computer up to a computer:
Pass (light is off);
Fail (light is on);
Not Enough Info (light is off).
If you "turn it off," you'll just put it in "Not Enough Info" mode and they'll tell you to come back.

Is this something I can change at home in the driveway or should the shop do it? Pretty handy but not sure on this one?

STARTER PROBLEMS

Ever since I bought the starter it grinds when I start the van. Now it ticks and eventually it starts, Does this sound like the starter is going? If so is this difficult to change and can it be rebuilt or should I just replace it?

Did you have this looked at? What was the problem? I am having the same complaint.

I've never done a starter on a Venture but I remember on my Celebrity, you had to check the backlash of the starter gear to flywheel (3.1 V6)...if the shims weren't right, it would grind. The starter came with a tool to measure the backlash and shims to correct it of needed.
If you determine that the starter needs to be replaced, don't bother trying to rebuild it, just replace it.

REPLACING MY REAR HUB ASSEMBLY

Guys,
I just found out that my left rear hub assembly needs to be replaced. I have changed my front ones, is the rear ones harder? Any information or advise would be great.
Thanks again!!

If you did the front, the rear will be a snap in comparison. Same concept but IIRC, bolts on the front, you don't have to work from the back of it..

So you are comfortable in saying that he rear is much easier to change? i think I am going to give it a try. If I wanted to change my brakes at the same time would it be easier or is this something totally different?

While you've got it apart you might as well replace the brake shoes. You don't have to remove them (assuming you don't have disc brakes here) but its as good a time as any to do them. It really is easier than doing the fronts. Go for it. I'll keep my eyes here, if you run into a problem, give a yell.
