Absolutely, I can help with that. The orange wrench light on your 2020 Ford F-150 XLT usually indicates a maintenance issue, often related to the oil change interval. Here's how you can reset it:
Turn on the Ignition: Without starting the engine, turn the key to the "On" position or press the start button once without pressing the brake pedal.
Access the Settings Menu: Using the steering wheel controls, navigate to the "Settings" menu on the dashboard display.
Select "Advanced Settings": Scroll down and select "Advanced Settings."
Choose "Vehicle": In the "Vehicle" menu, find and select "Oil Life Reset."
Reset Oil Life: Select "Reset Oil Life" and confirm when prompted. This should reset the oil change interval and turn off the wrench light.
If this doesn't work, or if the light remains on, it might be worth disconnecting the battery for a few minutes to reset the vehicle's computer. Be sure to reconnect it properly.
This should clear the wrench light. If it persists, a more in-depth diagnostic may be needed, but usually, these steps do the trick.
If all else fails, a quick trip to an independent mechanic might be the way to go. They should have a scan tool that can reset the light for you, usually for a lower cost than the dealership. Just explain you've had the oil changed and want the light cleared.
Bonus Tip: Before you reset the light, make sure you actually do remember the last oil change! These reminder lights are there for a reason, and keeping up with your oil changes is important for your engine's health.
Good luck!
