Ford focus ignition warning light

The chime is going off to alert you to the charging system problem, have it tested.

Hi Adrian, Have a diagnostic scan carried out to pin point the area of the problem. When the 'engine check' becomes illuminated it is indicating an electronic management problem. It could be related to a defective ignition coil or coils or a defective camshaft or crankshaft sensor. Take it for a scan. Regards John

this means there is a problem in the brake system of the car and u should seek service from a dealer or qualified brake shop. here is a copied section of your owners manual about the light.

Brake system warning
Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned to the RUN
position to ensure the circuit is
functional. Also illuminates if the
parking brake is engaged. If the
brake warning lamp does not illuminate at these times, or remains on
after releasing the parking brake, seek service immediately.
One of the following conditions may exist:
² low brake fluid level in the reservoir.
² Brake force distribution system failure. The ABS light will also
illuminate if this condition is present.

System operation
System arms 5 seconds after switching ignition OFF. Switch ignition ON. Ensure clock LED illuminates for 3-5 seconds. If LED flashes rapidly at regular intervals for approximately 1 minute, then flashes at irregular intervals: Key code not recognised. Remove key and try again.

with ignition turned on to 11 there are certain warning light that do stay illuminated but will go off when engine has started ie oil pressure/ charging/ m i l light /handbrake warning will go off when h/brake released so if battery is flat know anyone with jump leads?? could help you start ?

if you have your stereo code you need to disconnect the negative side of the battery and while its dissconnected you need to turn the ignition to the start position a couple of times and then reconnect the battery this should discharge any residual electricity now when you turn your ignition on your dash instruments should reset

well maybe u don't have a manual, so here is the difinition from the owners manual.
Low tire pressure warning (if
equipped): Illuminates when your
tire pressure is low. If the light
remains ON at start up or while
driving, the tire pressure should be
checked. Refer to Inflating Your Tires in the Tires, Wheels and
Loading chapter. When the ignition is first turned to ON, the light will
illuminate for 3 seconds to ensure the bulb is working. If the light does
not turn ON, have the system inspected by your authorized dealer. For
more information on this system, refer to Understanding Your Tire
Pressure Monitoring System in the Tires, Wheels and Loading
chapter.
