2 Answers
To eliminate the maintenance reminder light on the Ford Escort, simply power on the vehicle, then simultaneously press the TRIP and RESET buttons. The Escort is a compact sedan under the Ford brand, and all Escort models are equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. Relevant information about the Ford Escort is as follows: 1. Powertrain: The engine has a maximum power of 90 kW, a maximum torque of 152 Nm, a maximum power speed of 6500 rpm, and a maximum torque speed of 4500 rpm. This engine features multi-point fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission. 2. Suspension: The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
A while ago, I helped my uncle with his Ford Escort. Turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, and wait for all the yellow lights on the dashboard to illuminate. Then press and hold the long TRIP button on the right side of the steering wheel for about 10 seconds. You'll see a countdown from 10 appear on the dashboard. When the countdown ends and turns to 0, the maintenance reminder wrench symbol will disappear. Note that you need to press the brake pedal while holding the TRIP button, and finally start the engine to check if it was successful. Older cars may respond slower, so if it doesn't work, you can try repeating the process twice. Avoid pressing the button too hard to prevent damage.
