2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport should be done only after a full diagnostic. While battery disconnection or OBD-II code clearers can turn the light off temporarily, the underlying cause remains and may re-trigger the light or lead to additional engine and emissions damage. At Land Rover Sudbury we use factory scan tools to read and clear codes correctly, reset adaptations and verify repairs so the fault won’t return. Having a certified dealership perform the reset ensures repairs covered by warranty remain valid; warranty repairs must be completed at a certified dealer. Proper service at our facility often delivers immediate and long-term savings compared with repeated independent attempts.

When the light flashes, stop driving and have the vehicle inspected immediately to avoid costly downstream damage. Land Rover Sudbury handles flashing-light emergencies with prioritized diagnostics, targeted repairs, and OEM parts to protect your vehicle and wallet. Acting quickly minimizes repair scope and expense; our factory-trained technicians can determine whether towing to the dealership is recommended and provide an accurate estimate. Remember, repairs covered by warranty must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage.
