How often should I come in for Ford Transit-250 differential service?

What causes a Transit-250’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Can you reset your Transit-250’s malfunction warning light at home?

While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended.
