Here is the method to reset the maintenance light on a 2017 Ford Escort: 1. Open the car door and press the settings button in the central control navigation. 2. After entering the page, long-press the information button and enter the password 75315908. 3. Then click confirm, and this will complete the reset of the maintenance light on the 2017 Ford Escort. Additional information: The maintenance light is a reminder function set by the car manufacturer to prompt the owner to perform maintenance at certain mileage or time intervals, displayed in the form of a dashboard or screen message or indicator light. Resetting the maintenance light means performing a reset or information reset after completing the maintenance to clear the reminder message.
I've been driving a 2017 Ford Escort for four years and I'm very familiar with resetting the maintenance light. First, turn off the engine and all power, then press and hold the TRIP button on the right side of the dashboard without letting go. Next, turn the key to the ON position to power up the instrument panel (don't start the engine). Keep your eyes on the wrench icon on the dashboard and continue holding the button for about 15 seconds until you see it flash a few times and then turn off. Release the button and restart the car, and you're done. Remember to take your time with the operation; I once failed three times because I didn't hold it long enough. By the way, after resetting, make sure to service the car promptly. This car needs an oil change every 7,500 kilometers, and don't exceed 50,000 kilometers for the transmission fluid—I learned that the hard way.
