2026 Subaru Crosstrek Check Engine Light Reset

While some owners can clear a stored code with a scanner, resetting without a proper diagnosis can hide an active problem and lead to repeat failures or more expensive repairs later. At Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley we follow OEM procedures: we scan the vehicle to record codes, perform targeted repairs using genuine Subaru parts, and then reset the light as part of a documented service. This approach preserves warranty coverage and maintains accurate service history—critical for resale value and long-term reliability. Our certified technicians explain each step and provide a written estimate before work begins, emphasizing transparent pricing and the immediate and long-term savings of dealership service.
