How to reset the maintenance reminder on Ford EcoSport?
2 Answers
Ford EcoSport maintenance reminder reset method: 1. First, close all doors and windows. 2. Use the ignition key to turn the ignition switch to position 2 while pressing the accelerator and brake pedals for 2-3 seconds. 3. The information center on the dashboard will display a prompt that needs to be maintained for 25 seconds. 4. After 25 seconds, the word "completed" will appear in English, indicating that the maintenance light has been reset, and you can release the accelerator and brake pedals. Additional information: 1. When a wrench symbol appears on the car's dashboard, it means the car needs maintenance, not that there is a malfunction. 2. The purpose of the maintenance light is to remind the owner to perform maintenance as soon as possible. After maintenance is completed, the 4S shop will use a fault diagnostic tool to reset the maintenance light.
I also encountered the maintenance reminder issue with my Ford EcoSport. The reset method is quite simple: First, turn off the engine, then turn the key to the ON position without starting the car—the dashboard will light up. Next, press and hold the OK button near the steering wheel for about 10 to 15 seconds until you see the maintenance reminder light go off. The whole process is straightforward; just don’t release the button midway. I recommend checking the last maintenance record while you’re at it to ensure the car is in good condition, preventing the reminder from popping up again after resetting. This operation doesn’t affect other functions and is beginner-friendly for owners like me. Also, pay attention to regular maintenance intervals, such as servicing every 5,000 km, to keep the car running smoothly.
