Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light reset on a 2018 Ford Transit Van may seem like a simple fix, but a proper reset starts with a reliable diagnosis. While some drivers unplug the battery or use consumer-level code readers, that can erase stored data that technicians use to identify intermittent faults and root causes. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, our certified technicians use OEM-grade diagnostic tools to read and interpret codes, perform targeted repairs, and then perform a controlled reset. This ensures the issue is truly resolved rather than hiding an ongoing problem. We document the findings, explain recommended repairs, and show how OEM parts and correct procedures extend component life and maintain factory warranties. Our approach delivers clear immediate savings by avoiding repeat visits and long-term savings through fewer breakdowns and better fuel economy. If you want professional service, schedule service online and review applicable service specials before you arrive.

2018 Ford Transit Van Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2018 Ford Transit Van include P0171/P0174 (lean condition), P0420 (catalytic converter efficiency), P0300–P0306 (misfires), and P0130–P0167 (oxygen sensor faults). Ignoring these codes can lead to escalating repair costs: a persistent lean condition can damage the catalytic converter (thousands in parts and labor), untreated misfires risk piston and catalytic damage, and failed oxygen sensors reduce fuel economy and emissions compliance. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper, we balance local Draper convenience with technical depth — same-day diagnostics when possible, factory tools, and clear estimates. Our service advisors explain each code’s potential costs and benefits of prompt repair, and we highlight how choosing dealership service often reduces total ownership costs because repairs are done right the first time and backed by warranty. To protect your van and budget, schedule appointment now and ask about our current service specials.
