What is the most common reason for check engine light on a 2017 Ford GT?

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

  • Start with simple checks like fuel cap seating, fluid levels, and obvious smells. For a 2017 Ford GT, however, advanced scanning is often required to pinpoint turbo, ignition, or sensor faults.
  • Our technicians perform a thorough electronic scan and live-data review to identify the precise fault and recommend cost-effective repairs that prevent more expensive future damage.
  • Remember that repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to maintain protection; we provide clear documentation and OEM parts for every repair.

Check Engine Light Flashing

The sight of a flashing check engine light on a 2017 Ford GT is a serious warning: it commonly indicates an active engine misfire that can damage the catalytic converter or cause loss of power. Because the 2017 Ford GT is a high-performance twin-turbo vehicle, continued driving with a flashing light can accelerate wear on turbos, sensors, and exhaust components. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT our technicians prioritize immediate assessment — we recommend pulling over safely and contacting our service team for guidance or towing. When you bring your GT to our service center, we perform a prioritized diagnostic using OEM-level equipment, review live engine data, and give you a transparent repair plan. We also highlight savings across time: diagnosing and repairing early often avoids costly catalytic converter or turbocharger replacements later. Take advantage of our current service specials and flexible payment plans — you can schedule service online for fast attention and peace of mind.

2017 Ford GT Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2017 Ford GT is straightforward technically, but doing so without correcting the underlying fault is risky. A factory reset via an OBD-II tool will clear codes temporarily, but if the fault persists the light will return — and repeated resets can mask issues that lead to expensive failures. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper our certified technicians use Ford-specific diagnostic equipment to read pending codes, examine freeze-frame data, and identify root causes before any reset. We emphasize transparency: you’ll receive a clear explanation of findings, OEM parts recommendations, and an estimate that shows how early, correct repairs save money over time. Warranty work must be performed at a certified dealership to retain coverage, and we make that process seamless. If budget is a concern, we offer service financing so you can address problems now and spread payments.

2017 Ford GT Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes for a 2017 Ford GT include misfire codes (P0300–P0306), fuel-trim or MAF/O2 sensor issues (P0171/P0101), EVAP leaks (P0455), and catalyst efficiency alerts (P0420). Each code carries potential costs if left unaddressed: misfires can ruin catalytic converters and turbochargers, sensor faults reduce fuel efficiency and performance, and EVAP leaks can cause failed inspections and progressive component wear. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT we diagnose codes quickly with Ford OEM tools, explain repair options in plain language, and use genuine Ford parts to maintain performance and resale value. Our certified technicians work efficiently to limit downtime, and we apply available service specials to reduce out-of-pocket cost.
