Why does my 2017 Ford V-10 check engine light stay on?

    A $10 bluetooth OBD2 scanner + Android cellphone/tablet + "Torque" App = a scanner good enough for reading/clearing most codes.
  • The check engine light means that something is wrong. Buy a code reader or find someplace that will read it for you. It could be a simple fix or a costly one, but get it checked out. Or electrical tape over the light.
  • Buy a Scan Gauge II read and clear your codes and get other information like trans temp. and more.
  • Most auto parts stores, and WalMart, have the ability to retrieve codes. Should be able to find a lot you’re able to pull into.
  • Yes. As always it should be near the stearing column under the front edge of the dash.
  • Thanks for the replies. I doubt I can gat my Motor Home in the auto zone lot. Do new, class A MH with the V-10 have a port to hook diagnostics to?
  • Agree'd you need to read the code(s).
    Could be as simple as a loose gas cap.
  • Cause you are supposed to get the code read and go from there... :)

    Good luck!

  • You have a stored error code. Go to autozone and have then read it. With that code you can look up possible causes.
