Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Ford Transit Wagon can be a simple electronic clear, but a cleared code does not fix the underlying issue. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, we provide full diagnostics before offering a reset so you avoid repeat failures, failed emissions inspections, and unnecessary repairs. Our technicians use Ford-specific scan tools to read freeze-frame data and live sensor output, ensuring any reset follows correct repairs. We also document the work and explain how battery health, charging system performance, and recent repairs interact with engine codes. Using OEM replacement parts and dealer-grade calibration helps maintain system integrity and warranty coverage; warranty repairs must be completed by a certified dealership to remain valid. For many drivers, an apparent quick reset from a generic shop only delays the real repair, which can increase long-term costs. Instead, book service with our team to get an accurate diagnosis, a transparent estimate, and the option to use service financing so you can restore your van now and pay over time. To reserve a convenient time, schedule service and view our current service specials that may reduce your out-of-pocket expense.

2016 Ford Transit Wagon Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine codes for a 2016 Ford Transit Wagon in Draper, UT, include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0421/P0422 (oxygen sensor/catalyst variations), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean conditions), and P0130–P0167 range codes for oxygen sensor circuits. If left unfixed, a P0420 can degrade fuel economy and damage the catalytic converter—replacement costs can be significant. P0171 lean codes often stem from vacuum leaks, fuel delivery, or sensor faults that, when ignored, can lead to misfires and catalytic damage. Oxygen sensor failures increase emissions and fuel use and often signal additional downstream repairs. Our Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper service center provides fast, transparent assessments with OEM parts and factory tools so you know repair costs up front and avoid surprise bills. Because we complete accurate diagnostics the first time, customers often pay less than they would after multiple visits to independent shops; this delivers both immediate savings and fewer long-term repairs. Remember, warranty-covered repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to preserve protection. Check our service specials and schedule service to get prioritized care from certified Ford technicians.
