2017 Ford Transit Van Check Engine Light Codes

In Draper, UT, at Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper we see common codes for the 2017 Ford Transit Van such as P0420 (catalyst efficiency below threshold), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), and P0455 (EVAP large leak). Left unaddressed, each of these can escalate: a misfire can damage pistons and the catalytic converter and lead to engine failure; O2 sensor failures and unresolved lean conditions reduce fuel economy and accelerate catalytic wear, often costing hundreds to thousands of dollars in later repairs; EVAP leaks cause failed emissions tests and persistent drivability issues. Our certified Ford technicians diagnose codes with factory-grade scanners, provide transparent estimates, and repair using OEM parts to protect performance and resale value. Early diagnosis at our Draper service center usually reduces total ownership costs, and we offer service financing so you can get needed repairs now and pay over time. Check our service specials or schedule service online for fast, reliable care.

2017 Ford Transit Van Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2017 Ford Transit Van is straightforward with a scan tool, but a reset without proper repair only masks underlying faults and can lead to repeated failures and warranty complications.
