Can you reset your Ranger’s malfunction warning light at home?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended.

Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2010 Ford Ranger

Your Ranger’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Ford, from the axles to the transmission. It's one of the most complex systems in your Ranger and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2010 Ford Ranger to maintain its performance power. Follow Ford's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
