To reset the check engine light on a Ford Explorer is impossible. If it illuminates, there's likely an issue with the car, though it could result from various factors. It's not worthwhile to try to pinpoint a random problem unless it's glaringly obvious. The most effective approach is to have a mechanic use an OBD tool to scan the car, reveal the trouble code, and identify the problem. Once you have that information, you can proceed to have it fixed, which will deactivate the light. However, it's wise to quickly check the gas cap and fuel door first. If the cap is absent or the door is open, the light may turn on unnecessarily. It's a minor issue that doesn’t require a mechanic's attention, so be sure to investigate this possibility before taking further action.
