2018 Ford Transit Van Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2018 Ford Transit Van may seem simple, but clearing codes without correcting the underlying issue can mask problems and risk greater damage later.

If your vehicle is still under a warranty or service contract, remember that warranty repairs must be done at a certified dealership to remain valid.
