Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light reset process for a 2026 Ram 1500 REV should be performed after proper diagnosis — not simply cleared. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Albuquerque, our certified technicians first scan for stored and pending codes, interpret EV battery management and 12V auxiliary alerts, and confirm repairs before resetting the lamp. Resetting without repair can mask issues that degrade range or lead to secondary failures; our service includes a documented inspection, OEM components if replacement is needed, and a clear repair summary. Choosing a dealership repair ensures warranty compliance and long-term savings because factory-trained technicians apply manufacturer software updates and testing procedures that independent shops may not have. We make scheduling simple: schedule service online, view current service specials, and ask about service financing to spread payments while getting reliable, transparent repairs.
