2014 Ford E-Series Van E-250 Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2014 Ford E-Series Van E-250 can be tempting after disconnecting the battery or clearing a code, but a simple reset does not resolve underlying faults. David McDavid Ford in TX recommends a professional reset only after diagnosing and repairing the root cause so the issue does not recur. Our technicians use OEM diagnostic equipment that logs freeze-frame data and pending codes, ensuring we correct the true fault rather than masking it. Dealer service includes documented repairs, OEM replacement parts, and warranty protection—repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid. We value transparency: you’ll receive a clear estimate, options for OEM vs. service alternatives, and information on long-term maintenance to prevent repeat codes. Take advantage of our service specials and available service financing, then schedule appointment online for a full diagnostic and properly documented reset.

Common codes for the 2014 Ford E-Series Van E-250 include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean), P0300–P0304 (misfires), and P0130–P0167 (oxygen sensor circuit issues).
