2024 Dodge Hornet Check Engine Light Reset

The check engine light reset process for a 2024 Dodge Hornet should be handled with knowledge, tools, and proper follow-up. While some drivers clear codes with generic scanners, a reset without addressing the underlying fault can mask a recurring problem and risk further damage. At Larry H. Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise in Boise, ID, our technicians run a full scan, diagnose the stored codes, and document any needed repairs before clearing codes. This approach preserves data for warranty purposes and keeps your vehicle’s service history intact. We use OEM diagnostic tools to ensure accurate code reads and to reset adaptative systems correctly so your Hornet’s powertrain, emissions, and fuel systems re-learn in a controlled way. Customers benefit from transparent communication: you get a clear explanation of the fault, estimated costs, and an honest recommendation — often showing that dealership service costs less than independent shops due to efficiency and access to genuine parts. If a reset is appropriate, we’ll do it during the visit and retest systems to confirm the light stays off. You can schedule service online, review current savings with our service specials, and use service financing if you prefer to pay over time. Choosing our certified team protects your warranty and ensures the correct technical procedures are followed every time.

2024 Dodge Hornet Check Engine Light Codes

Miller Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Boise, we emphasize local convenience and certainty — our Boise service center has OEM parts, factory-trained technicians, and rapid diagnostics to pinpoint issues before they grow.
