Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2014 Ford Shelby GT500 may seem straightforward, but a simple reset without addressing the root cause can mask serious problems. Our technicians at Bill Estes Ford Brownsburg in Brownsburg, IN, follow OEM procedures to read and clear codes, verify repairs, and test drive to confirm faults won’t return. We use factory scan tools to log code history and ensure permanent repairs rather than temporary resets. Dealer service provides transparency: you receive a clear diagnostic report, OEM parts with warranty, and a timeline for repairs. Because repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership, returning to an authorized location preserves both coverage and resale value.
