Chrysler(###) ###-#### had the two [thermostats](/topics-thermostat-chrysler/) replaced and the [engine](/topics-engine-chrysler/) light came on right after. idk if this has to do with the fact that coolant got around the engine bay when removing the hoses, or the new part is confusing the system for a little bit. just confused Mechanic's Assistant: Has your vehicle stalled? Has anyone run a diagnostic test to pull the trouble code? No stalling no diagnostic test yet Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Chrysler [200](/topics-200/) yourself? What have you tried so far? We had a coolant leak that we fixed with a new hose housing unit and two new thermostats

Hello there and thank you for contacting JustAnswer, sorry to hear about your car trouble, I’ll do my best to help you solve this issue, after you fixed the leak, did you feel the coolant circulation through the hose and the new thermostat?

Felt circulation through new hose, I know my engine came on for my other chysler200 when I replaced [radiator](/topics-radiator-chrysler/) hose and that light went away so I'm thinking the light is just computer being dumb for awhileengine light i mean
Automotive Expert
Yeah I would say the same thing, it might go away on it’s own, if not get a diagnostic to pinpoint the issue.

fair enough I'm guessing with the new parts the computer isn't used to the new parts. also find it kind of odd for the two thermostatswhat is the way for me to reset engine light without the scanner
Automotive Expert
I agree, for the two thermostat is just how Chrysler designed some of their engines. You can try to reset it by removing the [battery](/topics-battery-chrysler/) terminals for like 10 minutes and put them back.

yeah I could try that but if all else fails I can run up to o reillys lol. Just wanted to make sure I was not sounding to dumb about this situation here, so thank you kindly
