Hello mikeurbas,

Welcome to the forum! My name is Deysha with Ford Service and I recommend checking with your dealer. Your service manager is in the best position to ensure a proper diagnosis, and will be able to provide available options and/or coverage for any work needed.

You can schedule an appointment online here.

Let me know how it goes!

Deysha

OK thanks, so I was wondering why one car had both warnings if they meant the same thing. I've been driving Toyotas for a while and their service engine soon light only means it's time for regular maintenance and there won't be an associated error code. They also have a check engine light which means an error or out of range condition has been detected by the ECU - no overlap in the two lights meanings.
