To reset the service light on a Ford Transit, you need to simultaneously press and hold the brake and gas pedals until a message appears on the dashboard screen saying "service reset oil in prog." Then, continue pressing the pedals for 20-25 seconds until you see the message "service: full oil reset" and the engine starts. The oil light will turn off. Understanding the importance of the service light is crucial as it signals potential issues, ranging from minor to severe. Therefore, it is essential to promptly diagnose the problem by booking a mechanic for a comprehensive inspection as soon as the light appears.
Turn off the engine and confirm that all doors are shut. Put the key in the ignition without starting the engine. Press and hold the brake and gas pedals at the same time until a message appears on the dashboard saying "service: reset oil in prog." Continue for 20-25 seconds by tapping the pedals until the dashboard displays "service: full oil reset." Start the engine, and the oil light will go off.
Hilarious, the service light decides to come on whenever it pleases, and there isn't much mention of oil change schedules in the manual.
