Problem overview

Some Ford Escape owners report experiencing persistent check engine light issues that remain unresolved despite multiple technician visits. These owners find that using an OBD-II scanner is crucial for accurate diagnosis, as it can reveal trouble codes related to common triggers such as loose gas caps, catalytic converter problems, vacuum leaks, and faulty spark plugs. Additionally, some owners note that the check engine light should reset itself once the underlying issue is addressed, but if the light is flashing, it indicates a serious engine misfire that requires immediate attention to prevent further damage. For those who continue to experience problems, seeking professional help is often necessary, as specialized technicians can conduct thorough diagnostics and provide effective solutions for the ongoing check engine light concerns.
