Resetting the oil indicator on your 2018 Ford Transit Van is a simple task that you can easily accomplish. It should only take about 9 to 12 minutes at most. To begin, you should approach the driver's side of your vehicle, open the door, and enter. Then, you'll need to turn the ignition to position 2. If your vehicle has a push-start option instead of a turning ignition, you'll need to press the start/stop button. Hold the button down for 2 to 3 seconds, then press down on both the brake and gas pedals simultaneously. Maintain this position for a count of 20 to 30 seconds. Following these steps should successfully reset the oil light indicator.
Shut off the engine and make sure all doors are closed. Switch the ignition key to position two. If your car has a push-start button, press and hold it.
1) Turn the key or press the button to the on position. 2) Press down on the gas and brake pedals. 3) Keep them pressed until the oil service light starts flashing, which should take around 20 seconds. 4) Let go of the pedals. 5) Start the engine and check if the light is no longer on.
To begin, engage the ignition without starting the engine. For those with a smart key, press and hold the star button for two seconds without applying pressure to the brake pedal. Next, simultaneously press and hold both the brake and gas pedals until a notification appears indicating that the service oil reset is underway. Maintain the pressure on the pedals for approximately 20-25 seconds until a new notification appears, confirming that the service oil reset is complete. Release the pedals, turn off the ignition, then start the engine to verify that the oil light has been extinguished.
