Why is my Transit-250 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

Can my Transit-250 malfunction warning light be reset at home?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Transit-250's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Transit-250.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2023 Ford Transit-250

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Transit-250's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Transit-250 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2023 Ford Transit-250 to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Ford's recommendations.
