2014 Ford Taurus Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2014 Ford Taurus is a simple-looking action but one that should follow a professional diagnosis.

Using our certified technicians ensures any necessary repairs are completed with genuine Ford parts and to factory specifications, which preserves warranties and long-term reliability. We provide clear estimates and explain immediate and long-term savings from doing the job correctly the first time.

2014 Ford Taurus Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine codes on a 2014 Ford Taurus include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/system too lean), P0455 (evaporative emission system leak), and sensor-related codes such as P0135 (O2 sensor heater). Each code carries potential consequences if left unresolved: a P0420 can signal deteriorating catalytic converter performance and lead to failed emissions tests and poor fuel economy; P0171/174 may be caused by vacuum leaks or fuel delivery issues, increasing wear and the chance of engine damage; P0455 (large EVAP leak) can waste fuel and trigger emissions failures. At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ, we identify codes with factory diagnostics, explain repair timelines and costs, and prioritize fixes that deliver the greatest long-term value. Our approach emphasizes certified service, genuine Ford parts, and warranty protections that independent shops often cannot match. Choosing dealership service frequently reduces overall ownership cost: accurate diagnostics prevent unnecessary part replacement, and we support repairs with documented histories that boost resale value.
