When you see a flashing light, minimize driving and bring your vehicle to Coggin Ford Jacksonville right away — continued driving can compound damage and lead to costly repairs.

2017 Ford Focus ST Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2017 Ford Focus ST is straightforward technically, but resetting without fixing the root cause can lead to recurring faults and missed warranty obligations. At Coggin Ford Jacksonville, we reset lights only after diagnosing and resolving the underlying issue, ensuring reliability and protecting your vehicle’s long-term performance. Our certified technicians use Ford-approved tools to clear codes, confirm repairs with test drives, and provide a written explanation of the work performed. That transparency helps you understand immediate savings and long-term value — using OEM parts and factory procedures reduces the chance of repeat repairs and preserves warranty coverage. We also offer service financing to make necessary repairs manageable. To review options and available discounts, see our service specials or schedule service today.

2017 Ford Focus ST Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine codes for a 2017 Ford Focus ST include P0420 (catalyst efficiency), P0300–P0304 (random or cylinder misfires), and P0171/P0174 (lean system).
