    I cleaned my intake manifold today and forgot to attach a lower hose and when I started it I received a "check Hybrid system" on the screen along with a check engine light. I replaced the hose but need to know how to turn off the CEL Thanks

    As long as the symptom that caused the light is fixed, the CEL will cancel itself after a few (5?) restarts. You can also disconnect the 12v battery or use a code reader.
