Resetting the check engine light on a 2023 Ford F-450 Super Duty is more than clearing codes—it requires addressing the root cause so the warning does not return. Our technicians at Larry H.

Independently clearing codes without repair can mask ongoing damage and lead to repeat failures or voided warranty protections. We emphasize transparency and customer education: you’ll receive a clear explanation of the code, recommended repairs, OEM part options, and how the fix preserves engine performance and efficiency. We also outline warranty coverage and the importance of certified-dealership repairs for warranty claims.
