How to Reset the Check Engine Light on a Ford F-250

By fordmin | 2:55 AM UTC, Mon March 30, 2020
Reset the Check Engine light.

Step 1

Carefully Open the fuse panel underneath the steering wheel assembly.

Step 2

Locate the input for the OBD tool plug. There is only one port large enough to accommodate the OBD tool plug.

Step 3

Plug the OBD tool into the port on the fuse panel.

Step 4

Turn the OBD tool on, using the power switch on the tool.

Turn the ignition key to the "II" position and wait for the check engine light to go off. This will reset the error codes and the light.

  • You can pickup a cheap ODB tool on ebay or offerup. Autozone and super cheap auto have them too but they are over priced.
