Ford Focus - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals - Page 7

Unfortunately you need a EBDII diagnostics tool to check what the light means, it could be many things. You can purchase a cheap, simple one from an auto store, or off ebay. The engine will sometimes protect itself by limiting the revs, 'limp home mode'. A common fault is the Lambda O2 sensor, not working. So the engine cannot work out the correct fuel injection. Not life threatening to the engine, but it would not pass an emission test.

Sounds to me like you need to take a trip to your local certified mechanic!

Ford owners manual. Com and download the manual then go to roadside emergencies and your fuse box diagrams are in there and the fuse values

On the hinge side of driver door, check the wiring harness. Probably has a protective rubber boot covering, see if you can pull the boot back far enough to get at the proper color. Green wire with blue tracer should be voltage, with key on, use a test light. Also, check the ground wire, it is black. You can use a test light to check ground also. One end of test light touches battery voltage, the other end penetrates that black wire, if the light comes on, the ground is good enough for test light. The driver door is opened and closed so much, sometimes the wires break. If you make a hole in the wire, use finger-nail polish or something to cover the hole.

Here is how this works. A coolant sensor triggers the "cold start" sequence which raises engine idle, enriches the fuel ratio, and makes a few other adjustments. When problems like yours occurs it means the engine is stuck in warm mode or the engine controls are ignoring the signal to reset. The cheaper part is the coolant sensor.

What year is your focus ? Maybe controlled by a GEM - electronic module .

Tom, the high beams are operated via a relay in the engine compartment under the hood. Go there and remove the cover. Printed inside, typically, is a diagram for all fuses and relays. Find the one for the headlights. Have some one operate the lever in the car and listen for a small click on that relay. If no sound is heard most likely relay is stuck. They simply pull up and out. Go to car parts store and buy replacement.

These is also the likelihood that the switch in steering column is the issue but this will tell you that is the case. If replacing the relay dose not clear the problem then it's a much larger project to replace the switch stalk. Do the relay first.

The GEM has nothing to do with it ! Odometer/Trip Odometer The odometer and trip odometer are displayed in the integrated circuit LCD display. The instrument cluster records the total mileage of the vehicle using information received from the PCM, and electronically displays this information in the LCD. If this information is not received, the LCD displays all dashes. How did you prove that instrument cluster isn't bad ? Did you have a factory scan tool hooked up , check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's ? View data to the instrument cluster etc... Instrument Cluster Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Index DTC Description Source Action B1202 Fuel Sender Circuit Open Instrument cluster Go To Pinpoint Test B . B1204 Fuel Sender Circuit Short to Ground Instrument cluster Go To Pinpoint Test B . B1205 EIC Switch-1 Assembly Circuit Failure Instrument cluster INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to Instrument Cluster in this section. TEST the system for normal operation. B1342 Instrument Cluster Is Defective Instrument cluster CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test. If DTC B1342 is present, INSTALL a new instrument cluster. REFER to Instrument Cluster in this section. TEST the system for normal operation. B1359 Ignition Run/ACC Circuit Failure Instrument cluster Go To Pinpoint Test A . B1317 Battery Voltage High Instrument cluster Go To Pinpoint Test N . B1318 Battery Voltage Low Instrument cluster Go To Pinpoint Test N . U2199 Invalid Data for Engine Coolant Instrument cluster Go To Pinpoint Test D . Your best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop.

• The speedometer/odometer is inoperative

• Powertrain control module (PCM).
• Instrument cluster.

• Go To Pinpoint Test F .

The body control module is malfunctioning.

I'd definitely check battery and battery cables. In the past, I had a vehicle where the lights at night would brighten and dim a little on their own, drove me crazy, at the moment, I can't remember if battery or battery cables, one or the other. Just my opinion.

I recently tried the DIY service and repair manuals from a website and it actually helped me repair transmission problem in my jcb 3cx site-master. It would'nt move forward or reverse, engine was good both solenoids for forward and reverse worked, but still couldn't diagnose the problem. I don't have much technical knowledge but I just followed it step-wise, and now it works perfect! covers wiring, codes, diagrams, torque specs, PCV, everything got it from www.reliable-store.com

The wires maybe broke off and are in the door but it depends if there's one wire at the lock ? That's for the interior lights when the doors are opened do you have any power locks on the other door? You must check the actuator's that they work and are plugged in at the back of the door where the lock is and check any fuses for the locks and go to Ford owners manual come and download the manual for free then go to roadside emergencies and the fuse box diagrams are there and in locks and security for the remote control programming sequence the remotes you can get on eBay keylessking in farmingdale new Jersey is your best shot here it's a great place you can get other keys for your pats system and cut and program them or cut and clone it especially if you only have 1key it's a big problem if you lose it $350.+keys and a tow truck to the dealer or the same$$for a locksmith if he has the machine to do it so I would hit up keylessking on eBay they are very quick shippers and high quality remotes and keys other sellers have junk that doesn't work I know first hand once you cut the key you can't return it if it doesn't work so take my advice and use keylessking for your stuff you won't be sorry they are the best shop for this stuff I'm a taxi mechanic in NYC with 50+years of experience and the knucklehead drivers lose there keys all the time this is where I get them and 100 out of 100 have all worked so I stay with the best suppliers for parts and recommend them as well as rock auto.com for your hard parts good luck Stephen

check your crank and cam sensors...see if one is not plugged tight in

Sounds like a vacuum leak, PCV hose or another vacuum hose leaking

Replace either key cyclinder or ignition switch...

tun the fault codes to determine the possible fault sensor indicates a crank/cam position sensor

code p 2263 refers to turbocharger (TC) boost pressure/supercharger (SC) boost pressure ---performance problems ===cause--- mechanical fault check for leaking interchange hoses , interchanger split or turbo failure

clogged fuel injector's ,vacuum leak, low fuel pressure . Do you know how to do an injector balance test , fuel pressure testing with a pressure gauge ? P2195 Oxygen Sensor Signal Biased Stuck Lean Bank 1 Sensor 1

Hi there's this website something like reliable-store and it is very amazing for manual for repairing servicing anything someone on fixya recommended it to me and I thank him even today They have full manuals and it's verrrrry cheap and mine I got free in offers 3rd time I bought it, I also had an issue with the file so the girl replaced it in 30 mins there is one website more but i don't remember its name it was 2 years back bitman something link this Try these out brother

The engine system most affected by moisture is the high tension electrical system, so it is unlikely to be the starter or similar shorting out, but something like moisture getting into the distributor or coil. You might want to liberally spray any of the popular Water Dispersant (WDxx or similar) products on all your high tension components and leads. You can of course, spray the lower voltage components too, just for kicks. These Water Dispersant sprays are very inert so they are unlikely to cause harm, but will help keep moisture away and minimise the chance of shorts.
