Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light reset process for a 2023 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van begins with a full dealer-grade diagnostic to identify and repair the underlying fault rather than simply clearing codes. Many vehicle owners are tempted to reset the light with a handheld scanner, but that only masks the issue and can allow a small problem to become a costly repair later. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, our factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to read manufacturer-specific codes and confirm the repair with post-repair testing. We document the work and, when applicable, restore warranty coverage by performing repairs at a certified dealership. That transparency helps you understand immediate repair benefits and long-term savings—proper repairs prevent repeat failures, improve fuel economy, and protect resale value. We also offer service financing so you can address necessary repairs now and pay over time. For a dependable outcome, avoid quick resets and let our team handle both the diagnosis and the reset. To arrange a visit, schedule appointment and see current service specials before you arrive.

2023 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van Check Engine Light Codes

We explain repair options, use OEM parts, and provide transparent pricing so customers can weigh immediate repair cost against long-term savings. Because certified-dealership repairs maintain warranty coverage and often extend vehicle life, many owners save money by addressing codes promptly at our facility.
