To reset the check engine light on your 2016 Ford Escape, it's a straightforward process. You'll need an OBD II scanner tool, which can be purchased at an auto parts store for anywhere between $20 and $200. A basic $20 tool will suffice for simple tasks. Locate the OBD II port under the left side of the driver's dash in your car, then connect the scanner tool to it. Follow the instructions on the tool to reset the light, and you're all set. Let me guide you through the steps if needed.
Start by ensuring that all doors are shut. Next, switch the ignition to the "on" position without starting the engine. Simultaneously, press down on the brake and gas pedals. Keep them pressed for about half a minute, and you will notice the reset on the dashboard screen. Release the pedals once the reset is confirmed on the display. Turn off the vehicle and take out the key from the ignition.
