I drive a 2019 Ford Transit for work, and the check engine light came on. My boss won’t get it fixed, so I want to try and work on it myself. Where is the OBD port on a 2019 Ford Transit?
, the first thing you should do is look for a small plastic door on your dashboard, next to your steering wheel column. Then, pull up on the latch at the bottom of the door to open it and reveal the OBD port.
Here are a few trouble codes that might pop up on your scanner:
P0135: Oxygen sensor malfunction.
P117A: Engine is overheating.
P0200: Defective or damaged injector circuit.
P0300: Engine cylinder misfire.
P0411: Incorrect flow detected in the air injection system.
P0420: Catalytic converter is faulty or damaged.
P0500: Speed sensor malfunction.
P0602: Control module programming error.
P0700: Transmission system malfunction.
P1148: Alternator wiring is defective or damaged.
Keep in mind that your OBD-II scanner could detect dozens of possible error codes—so if the code you see isn’t on this short list, find out what it means by consulting a code book or looking it up online. Once you’ve determined the problem with your vehicle, you have all the information you need to decide if you want to try and fix it yourself, or bring it to a repair shop.
