Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on your 2017 Ford Transit Connect is a sign of a potentially serious condition, often indicating active misfires that can damage the catalytic converter and reduce engine performance. When you see a flashing light, stop driving as soon as it is safe and let our technicians at Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT inspect the vehicle. Our team uses Ford-specific diagnostic tools and OEM parts to identify whether the issue is ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel delivery, or an injector problem. Addressing these faults promptly at our dealership reduces the chance of costly downstream damage, improves fuel economy, and protects emissions control components. We recommend checking current service specials before your visit and taking advantage of service financing if needed. To protect your vehicle and safety, schedule service online or call our service department today for immediate attention.

2017 Ford Transit Connect Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2017 Ford Transit Connect may clear the warning temporarily, but unless the underlying fault is repaired the light will return. Our certified technicians at Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper explain why a professional reset matters: we verify and repair the root cause, update service records, and ensure any warranty obligations remain intact. Dealership service offers transparency — we provide documented diagnostics, OEM parts, and a clear quote before work begins. Using an independent or generic scanner can mask problems and void warranty coverage; any repair under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid. We also provide service financing to make necessary repairs immediately affordable, along with rotating service specials to stretch your dollar further. To keep your Transit Connect running at peak reliability, schedule appointment with our Ford-certified technicians who specialize in Ford diagnostics and repairs.
