How to Reset a Ford Service Light E 450

The "Service Engine Soon" (SES) light will illuminate on the Fords instrument panel when the vehicle is ready for routine maintenance. The On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) computer receives trouble codes from sensors positioned throughout the vehicle. The "E-450" code corresponds to a service issue. Address the issue that triggered the code, then reset and shut off the light with an OBD reset tool. This tool can be obtained from any auto parts store. Resetting the light yourself will save you money and a trip to the dealership.

Instructions

1

Locate the fuse panel cover under the steering column. Open it by turning the knob and pulling down on it from the top by hand.

2

Plug the end of an OBD reset tool into the port inside the fuse panel. This port will be the same size and shape as the connector.

3

Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "II" position. Select the "Clear Codes" command on the reset tool.

4

Wait for the SES light to turn off. Unplug the reset tool and turn off the vehicle.
