2024 Ford Transit Passenger Van Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light reset process for a 2024 Ford Transit Passenger Van is more than a simple bulb reset; it’s an opportunity to confirm that the underlying fault has been resolved. At David McDavid Ford in TX we begin with a full diagnostic scan using OEM-level tools to read stored and pending codes, then perform targeted repairs using genuine Ford parts. While some quick-scan tools can erase codes, they don’t fix root causes and may mask problems that grow into costly failures. Our factory-trained technicians document repairs and run post-repair checks to ensure the system completes the necessary drive cycles to clear faults legitimately. We pride ourselves on transparent estimates and clear explanations so you understand both immediate and long-term savings. If a repair is covered under warranty, it must be performed at a certified dealership—something we manage efficiently for you. To get started, schedule appointment online, or review available service specials to reduce upfront costs. We also provide service financing to help you address necessary work now and pay over time, protecting your Transit’s performance and resale value.

2024 Ford Transit Passenger Van Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2024 Ford Transit Passenger Van include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0456 (small EVAP leak), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim lean condition), and oxygen sensor-related codes. Each code has cost implications: ignoring P0420 can lead to reduced fuel economy and eventually a costly catalytic converter replacement; unaddressed misfires (P0300) can damage ignition components and the catalytic converter; EVAP leaks (P0456) are often inexpensive to fix but will cause emissions test failures if left undone.
