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.

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.
