To reset the check engine light on your 2013 Ford Escape, start by turning the ignition to the ON position without starting the engine. While doing this, press down on both the brake and gas pedals simultaneously. Keep holding down both pedals for 20 to 40 seconds until you see a reset notification appear on the navigation screen. The process will take a moment, and once it indicates "complete," you can release the pedals. This should clear the light, allowing you to use your vehicle as usual.

It is ineffective unless the "check oil" light is the only feature that works.
