How to reset a fault code by canayjun64

Hi everyone,
 
Recently, my 2k Silverado 4.8L has been dificult to start when it's hot. I suspected my EGR valve so I disconnected it to see but got the service engine light on now. I know it's not the EGR now but the light stays on.
 
I remember my dealer telling me once how to reset this but I forgot. Could anyone help?
 
Thanks

From your description I would have to agree with the dealer.
Your RPMs do increase when the transmission downshifts but not as much as the tach would indicate. Any sensitive electronic meter will do that given a sudden change in input. It's called overshoot. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

First, go to AutoZone and they will read the code for free and then you will know what to look for. You should be able to turn the SES light off by disconnecting both battery cables and holding the ends together for a couple of minutes. That doesn't work on all vehicles so not completely sure about yours.

Thanks jneal. That's exactly what I did (sort of) I disconnected the negative cable from the battery for about 30 seconds. That did the trick.
 
Now I'll have to see why it's so hard to start when the engine is warmed up.
 
Thanks again!

#4 is probably caused by one or more of the first three.
I would check the MAF and the IAT sensor. Either one can cause all the others but I lean more toward the IAT sensor.

**UPDATE**
 
In regards to my previous posts, I have had my truck serviced and it turns out that the Fuel Regulator was causing a poor engine start up (when the engine is warm).
 
Just sharing the knowledge...cheers!
