How to Reset the Oil Maintenance Light on Ford EcoSport?
2 Answers
Steps to reset the oil maintenance light on Ford EcoSport: 1. Start the vehicle; 2. The vehicle's dashboard will display the maintenance reminder; 3. Press the SET button on the vehicle's steering wheel; 4. Then press the cancel button on the vehicle's steering wheel; 5. The vehicle's oil maintenance light will be reset. The Ford EcoSport inherits the authentic lineage of the Ford SUV family, focusing on the original driving pleasure of SUVs while upgrading again, integrating a distinctive appearance, high-end intelligent technology, and authentic SUV performance. The Ford EcoSport offers three power options: a 2.0L Duratec direct-injection engine, an EcoBoost 1.0L turbocharged direct-injection engine, and a 1.5L TiVCT engine, paired with a SelectShift 6-speed automatic transmission for more precise and smooth power delivery.
I've been driving a Ford EcoSport for several years, and the maintenance light always stays on after an oil change, requiring a manual reset for peace of mind. After getting in the car, don't start the engine—just turn the key to the 'on' position or press the start button without pressing the brake. Then, press and hold the trip reset button on the dashboard (the small button with an arrow symbol) for about 5 to 10 seconds. The light will start flashing or turn off directly, indicating success. Make sure the car is stationary during this process—safety first. If you don't reset it promptly, the light will keep reminding you about maintenance, making you doubt whether the oil change was done properly. I recommend finding a flat spot to do this and not rushing. The button location may vary depending on the model year—my 2019 EcoSport has it on the right side of the steering wheel. Beginners can refer to the manual for confirmation. Get into the habit of resetting it immediately after an oil change to avoid the hassle of visiting a repair shop.
