Trouble light reset?

[Guy JR]

Can I reset the trouble light in my truck myself? The truck has been to the shop 3 times for the emissions light and every time they tell me there was a turbo under pressure fault and there is nothing wrong with the truck. It runs fine and I'm sick of paying to have the shop reset the light. Any suggestions?

Leave it alone and it will go out after several starts. OR get an Autoenginuity scanner and it can reset it. AutoEnginuity® - OBD2 Scan Tool - Professional PC and PDA Diagnostics NOT CHEAP.

A less expensive way to go is ScanGaugeII - Scan Tool + Digital Gauges + Trip Computers* SCANGAUGE II.* Read and clear codes(turn off your own CEL), monitors MANY engine parameters(gauges),is also a trip computer and more. $169.95 online!* If you're serious/technical/mechanically inclined and have the money, then the Autoenginuity is the more professional way to go. My scangauge II fits perfectly in the little cubby hole in dash. I drilled a hole in the back, velcroed to the top of cubby and it looks almost stock like, very clean.

Not good advice. You should know what the truck is trying to tell you.

Turbo boost codes

If that has truck has factory pcm software I mean no chip the vanes in your vvt are sticking and you need a turbo teardown and clean.

I would be willing to bet the vanes are sticking as well.

Whats involved in a turbo tear down and clean? Is this something you need the Ford dealer for? Where can I get a assembly drawing of the turbo? Much thanks to all the help from you guys.

Thanks Fordoor. You would think the Ford mechanic would have recomended this. I should be able to handle this job.
