How to Reset Check Engine Light?
1997 Ford Ranger XL v6 4.0 Liter, how can I reset check engine light other than disconnect battery method? How many O2 sensors in this truck and where they are? Thanks in advance!

If you have an OBDII code scanner, you can use it to read and clear the codes and turn off the CEL.
Don't assume the problem is an O2 sensor. A check engine light can be lit for many reasons. You need to have the codes scanned with a scanner, and post it here if you need help troubleshooting it.

Yes, there are many "o2 codes", but only a few indicate o2 failure
You need a scanner to erase the codes, but some will clear up themselves after you fix the problem
The battery disconnect is not suppose to work (to erase codes) on this vehicle
