2014 Ford Fusion Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light reset procedure for a 2014 Ford Fusion can be straightforward when the underlying issue has been resolved, but resetting without repairing the cause risks repeated warnings and potential damage. Our factory-trained technicians at Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT always begin with a complete diagnostics scan to read stored codes and freeze-frame data. If the fault is a simple, verifiable fix — for example a cleared fuel cap or a replaced sensor — we will clear the code and run a drive cycle to confirm the system returns to normal. If the root cause involves charging or a weak battery, we test the battery, alternator, and wiring to prevent a premature re-appearance. We use OEM components to maintain your vehicle’s integrity and honor warranties; repairs under coverage must be performed at certified dealerships to remain valid. For transparency, we provide written estimates, explain immediate and long-term savings, and show you how chosen repairs extend vehicle life.

2014 Ford Fusion Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2014 Ford Fusion include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171/P0174 (fuel system lean), and P0455 (EVAP system large leak).
