Its a service light. It should tell you in the handbook how to turn it off. You have to do something with the pedals.

service light, can beturned of by yourself if you want to.

turn ignition lights on, but dont start van,
press both accelerator and brake pedal at the same time for about 30 secs,
light will start to flash,

light has been reset.
I give these pedal presses a go tomorrow...

Or you could, SHOCK, service it?

Lol, that's what I was thinking. The servicing light has come on, and everyone is telling him how to get rid of it without actually servicing it.

Well, the fact that the light has come on means Ford think it does. Plus 2001 was 7 years ago, which is quite a while on a vehicle which is probably used quite a lot.

Because he might've serviced it himself already? Dealer services arn't really worth the cash on a 2001 van, are they?

If he's got the nouse to service his own van he wouldnt ask Overclockers what the little spanner icon on the dashboard means.
