The red light on the Ford Transit dashboard is the check engine light, and it cannot be reset manually. This light indicates there is an issue with the vehicle, but the problem can be caused by various factors. It is not recommended to spend time troubleshooting unless the issue is obvious. Instead, it is best to take the car to a mechanic who can use an OBD tool to scan for trouble codes and identify the problem. Once the problem is identified, it can be fixed to turn off the light. Before visiting the mechanic, check the gas cap and fuel door, as a missing or open cap can also trigger the light. It is a simple check to do on your own before seeking professional help.
Depending on the issue at hand, the red warning light on the dashboard could signal the need for an oil change, engine problems, or issues with the ABS system.
