Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2014 Ford C-Max Energi may seem straightforward, but a reset without proper diagnosis can hide recurring faults and lead to larger repairs later. At Coggin Deland Ford in Deland, FL we recommend a full diagnostic scan before any reset so our technicians can identify underlying causes—whether it’s a transient sensor glitch, hybrid battery sensor anomaly, or an emissions-related fault. Our certified technicians use Ford-approved tools and OEM software to read frozen data, live sensor streams, and pending codes. That level of depth prevents misdiagnosis and ensures any reset is accompanied by corrective action when needed. We provide clear estimates, communicate the immediate benefits of a verified reset, and explain long-term advantages such as better fuel economy and fewer secondary repairs. If a soft reset is appropriate, we perform it and verify the C-Max Energi’s systems on the road. To keep your warranty intact and secure work performed with genuine parts, schedule service with us, and check current offers on our service specials page.
