To clear a check engine light on a Ford, you can use an OBD-II scanner to read the trouble codes and reset the light. Simply connect the scanner to the vehicle’s OBD-II port, follow the prompts to retrieve codes, and then select the option to clear them. Alternatively, you can disconnect the car battery for about 15 minutes to reset the system, but this may also reset other settings. Always ensure to address the underlying issue before clearing the light to avoid potential problems.
