2023 Ford Transit Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2023 Ford Transit should be done after a proper diagnostic so the underlying issue isn’t masked. At Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our process begins with a full code scan using Ford factory tools to identify persistent or pending faults. Technicians will explain why the light came on, what repairs or maintenance are recommended, and what will be reset. We emphasize transparency: if a simple reset is appropriate after a verified repair, we’ll perform it and document the work so your service history stays accurate. Using OEM parts and manufacturer procedures reduces the risk of repeat visits, preserves warranties, and maintains vehicle value—benefits an independent shop may not consistently provide. We also highlight immediate and long-term savings; addressing faults early prevents escalation that can lead to higher parts and labor costs and potential downtime. To get the right outcome for your Transit, schedule service online and review current service specials.

2023 Ford Transit Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2023 Ford Transit range from P0171/P0174 (fuel trim/air-fuel mix), P0300-P0306 (misfires), to P0420 (catalyst efficiency). In Mesa, AZ, drivers trust Larry H.
