Last updated:
After an oil-and-filter change, the service / oil-change message on your Ford EcoSport (B515, 2014–2022) stays on until you clear it. Ford uses a simple pedal routine on the EcoSport — no dealer tool needed.
Before You Start
Only reset once the service is actually done — the reminder is what tells you when the next change is due.
Resetting with the Pedals
- Switch the ignition on but do not start the engine.
- Fully depress both the accelerator and the brake pedals together and hold them.
- After about 3 seconds, ‘Reset in progress’ appears.
- Keep holding — after about 25 seconds, ‘Reset completed’ shows.
- Release both pedals and switch the ignition off.
If it doesn’t take, repeat the procedure.
If the Message Stays
- Pedals not fully down — press both to the floor and hold the full time.
- Engine started — it must be ignition-on only; switch off and retry.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the service light on a Ford EcoSport?
Ignition on (engine off), fully press the accelerator and brake together, hold ~3s for ‘Reset in progress’, keep holding ~25s for ‘Reset completed’, then release.
Do I need a Ford diagnostic tool?
No — the pedal routine resets it from the driver’s seat.
Why won’t it complete?
Both pedals must be flat to the floor for the full time, with the engine off — not running.
Does this clear a warning light?
No — it only clears the service reminder, not a fault light.
If a warning symbol (not the service message) is lit, look the code up on autodtcs.com. Changing the battery too? See our EcoSport battery guide.
