2020 Ford Transit Passenger Van Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2020 Ford Transit Passenger Van should be done only after a complete diagnosis and repair.

At Bill Estes Ford Brownsburg in Brownsburg, IN, our certified Ford technicians use OEM-level scanners to capture freeze-frame data, inspect related sensors and wiring, and verify repairs before clearing codes. When we reset the system, we validate that the issue is resolved under road test conditions to protect your vehicle’s performance and warranty. We also offer battery testing and professional battery replacement for the Transit’s diesel electrical system — using Ford-approved batteries and installation procedures that preserve electronics and start reliability. For convenience, you can schedule service online, and don’t forget to check our service specials to lower your cost. Our transparent estimates and service financing options let you make smart, affordable choices that lengthen your Transit’s service life.
