Engine Service Light
[B]On a 300 mile round trip yesterday the service engine icon came on and stayed on. This happened once before last December after I bought my used 012 250 6.7. I took it back to the ford place and a mechanic cleared it on the gauges. This truck has correct oil and fluid levels. Can any one tell me how to clear? It has been 4000 miles since they changed the oil and filters an I want to go a couple more K miles before I change it myself. Thank You In advance, Jim

Engine code
You need to know what the code is. I would also record the codes and the millege. Many auto parts places will read the code for you for free. They can also clear the code. BUT it is important to know what is being reported.
I have the basic dash on my 2012 and I can not clear or read codes from it. I have Nice code reader for that purpose.

If I get out to my truck later I'll look up the procedure unless someone beats me to it. I know how to do it with the screen in front of me but not off by heart.
