In most cases all you need to do is remove the + Batt lead going to the fuse panel for about 5 mins. then reconnect it. It should clear but may come back if there is a valid problem. If it comes back, you may need to have a code test done. Autozone will check code errors I have heard for free.

You will need a scan tool or a trouble code reader.

A engine symbol with a wrench attached continues to appear on the dash of my 2006 chevy equinox

I know of no such warning light on the 2006 Chevy Equinox that shows a wrench with an engine. The wrench with an oil can beside it means that there is scheduled maintenance required as listed in your owner's manual. You will see this when it it time to change the oil. The light that shows an engine is the Check Engine light and comes on when there is a problem with the emissions system. It requires that the ECU be scanned with a scan tool to retrieve the code that has been set. A trained professional will use this code to repair the problem.

My check engine light is on after I change what I needed to how can I make it go off.I have an 2006 chevy equinox

Call around to your local parts stores and see if one will do a free scan. Scan you car and write down the codes that are pressent. Then clear the codes, this will reset the light. When the light comes back on see what codes return and then fix the problem and reset it again.

2006 Chevy Equinox - Service Lamp Reset

Turn the ignition to run. Within three seconds push the gas pedal to the floor three times. Turn the key to off, and then start the car. The light should flash three times signifying that it reset. If it does not, try repeating the process, but instead of turning it to off after stepping on the pedal, just start the car.
