how to reset ford f150 check engine light
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
1. Turn on the vehicle: Engage the emergency brake. Make sure you are not in any kind of dangerous or busy area. Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the “On” position.
2. Connect scan tool: Located underneath the dashboard of the vehicle on the driver’s side near the hood release pull is a Service Link Connector. This is where you connect your OBD2 tool or car code reader.
3. Read the codes: Use the device’s scanning feature to read the diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Depending on the device, you may have to hit a button like “Read” or “Scan.”
4. Clear the codes: Once you know why the check engine light was on, you can fix the problem. When the issue has been taken care of, go back to the OBD2 tool and clear the codes. Often, this is done by selecting “Erase” or “Clear.”
5. Unplug the scan tool: Once you’ve cleared the codes, unplug your OBD2 tool from the Service Link Connector.
6. Test drive: When you start up the Ford F150 again, the check engine light should stay off if the problem was fixed. If the check engine light comes back on, repeat the process and ensure the issue was properly fixed.
Remember, if at any point you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself, it is best to take your vehicle to a professional mechanic.
