2016 Ford C-Max Hybrid Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on your 2016 Ford C-Max Hybrid may appear simple, but a reset without proper diagnostics can hide underlying problems and void warranty protections. At Coggin Ford Jacksonville we avoid quick resets and instead perform a full diagnostic scan to find and fix the cause — ensuring the reset is permanent. Our approach includes documented code readings, targeted repairs with OEM parts, and test drives to verify repairs. Choosing dealership service ensures warranty continuity; any repairs covered under warranty must be completed at a certified dealer to remain valid. We also provide transparent pricing and highlight the immediate and lifetime savings of correct repairs, which often makes dealership service more cost-effective than independent options in the long run. Take advantage of our service specials or schedule appointment to get a trustworthy, factory-trained technician to diagnose and resolve the issue.
