If You want to reset the check engine light on the 2012 Ford Focus, I can help guide You. What You will need is an OBD II scanner which is not too expensive at an auto parts store. First thing You will want to do is put Your key in the ignition and turn on ON. Now, insert the OBD II scanner into Your vehicle's OBD II port. You will now follow the directions on the screen to reset the check engine light. Once done, turn the ignition to OFF. If You want to make sure that the light has been reset, turn the ignition to ON again and watch for the check engine light location, it should be off.
