Default ENGINE LIGHT - 21' How do you reset??

Engine light is on and computer check reveals that is not showing any problematic codes.
Have disconnected the battery twice, for a few minutes, and yet the engine light is still staying on.

Any suggestions? About to "Youtube" this stubborn crap. Thank you!!

(Yes, I've looked at the manual and just unhooked the battery for over an hour, this last try)

Newer vehicles, disconnecting battery does not clear check engine light, must use a scan tool to clear check engine light. If light is on, there is a code stored, being a 2021, some scanners will not connect to it.

You can try some older method. It won't hurt anything. Turn on ignition, don't start the truck, push the gas pedal to the floor 3 times. turn ignition off and try to start again. Some even use the brake pedal to do the same thing.

Go to autozone they can check it and reset the code.
