2017 Ford Taurus Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2017 Ford Taurus can be tempting as a quick fix, but a reset without addressing the underlying code simply hides a problem and risks further damage. At Coggin Deland Ford we explain why a proper scan and repair are superior to a simple reset: our dealership uses OEM tools and factory procedures to diagnose cause and verify repairs, ensuring the light stays off for good. We also document service history to protect warranty coverage — note that repairs under warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid.

2017 Ford Taurus Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine light codes for a 2017 Ford Taurus include P0300 (random misfire), P0420 (catalytic converter efficiency), P0171/P0174 (lean fuel condition), and oxygen sensor codes like P0135. Each code carries potential costs if ignored: misfires can damage the catalytic converter leading to expensive replacement; a P0420 left unaddressed can violate emissions standards and reduce fuel economy; lean conditions can accelerate engine wear, and failing oxygen sensors cause poor performance and reduced MPG. Coggin Deland Ford in Deland, FL provides precise diagnostics and clear cost estimates so you understand both immediate repair needs and long-term savings of proper service. Our technicians use OEM parts and factory procedures to correct faults once and for all, often costing less over time than repeated independent-shop attempts.
