In order to reset the check engine light in a 2016 Jeep Patriot the underlying cause needs to be addressed. You can find out the trouble code causing Your problem by inserting the key into the ignition and turning it to the on position. Next, make sure the trip display is showing the trip mileage. Now hold the trip reset button for about 10 seconds. After the time has expired, cycle the ignition off and on three times. Now the trip display will show You the error codes. The codes will consist of 4 digits beginning with a letter. A simple online search of the code provided to You will help You in diagnosing the issue. After the display shows the error code it will ask if You are sure that You want to reset the code. If You hold the trip reset button for a couple seconds it will clear the code. But again, if the original issue is not addressed the check engine light will come back on.
