my Ford F-150 14th Generation (2021-2024) check engine light won’t turn off how to reset it

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is cool.
• Disconnect the battery for safety (optional, but can help reset systems).

2. Scan for Codes

• Tools Required: OBD-II scanner
• Connect the OBD-II scanner to the vehicle's diagnostic port (usually under the dashboard).
• Turn on the ignition without starting the engine and follow the scanner instructions to read the codes.

3. Clear Codes

• With the OBD-II scanner still connected, navigate to the option to clear or erase codes.
• Confirm the action and wait for the scanner to process the command.

4. Test Drive

• Reconnect the battery (if disconnected) and start the engine.
• Take the vehicle for a test drive under normal conditions for about 10-20 miles.
• Observe if the check engine light remains off during and after the drive.

5. Recheck for Codes

• After the test drive, use the OBD-II scanner again to check for any new or recurring trouble codes.
• If codes reappear, further diagnosis will be needed based on the specific codes.
