- In this video, I'll show you how to reset the Engine Malfunction Warning Message on my 09 Ford Focus. This simple procedure is similar to one demonstrated in the link below.
• FORD GALAXY HOW TO ERA...
you are absolute legend. I almost got a mini heart attack when I got engine malfunction message while I was driving. But your video helped me !! Thank you
Your more the welcome
Me too:))
I was going to work this morning and got the message too, my heart almost jumped out of my chest when I saw it :))
Happened to me just right this morning😢😢😢
Got back to car, (Focus 06 plate 1.6 automatic) at supermarket car park and car was displaying engine malfunction and wouldn't let me even turn engine over. Searched for advice and found this and it was heaven sent. Many thanks!
Glad it helped you out. God bless you my friend.
Bro wtf I just fixed mine, was in the freeway and it came off I freaked out and pulled over. But after watching this I fixed it, cheers mate!
Your welcome my friend.
My partners car would not start and displayed this error, this worked and allowed it to start again... thanks a million
Well done. This did the job and saved me a trip to the garage to get it fixed. 👍
Many thanks for this. I had the oil service come up first then the engine malfunction a few days later. I have my 2008 Mondeo serviced every year by Ford, so I knew this was rubbish. This has now cleared both messages. Thanks again.
Your welcome
That’s me too right now . Thanks
Legend. Worked like a charm. After many weeks of errors and attempts to reset all. This worked well. thanks so much!
Thanks mate, now I have this problem and I don't know what to do.. Glad to God I find your video
God bless you my friend
If you still have your Ford [ now 2 years later ] then engine malfunction message shows also when the fault is related to anything in exhaust system. I had same issue with my 2010 Mondeo and it was EGR valve.
Hi, this also worked on my wife's 2010 manual Kuga, thank you very much 😊
Thank you helped a lot my focus is 09 and that has been happening
Thank you mate. This happened me car was fine just serviced by by very good mechanic. I guessed it was a resetting thing.
Your a legend that's just worked on my Mrs 60 plate Mondeo. Thanks man.
Thank you for this. It saved my 2008 Focus from the scrap yard!
Your welcome my friend
@@nutjob9696 i have i same problem right now. + imobiliser active. Is it possible to do it right on video?
just done on keyless manual. turn Ignition on done break and throttle for 30sec did not clear but when I turned car on was cleared thank you 🙏 👍
Does this solve the issue or just temporarily get rid of the message ?
I got engine message on my focus, and needed comp/displey rewiering. After few atempts of repair, it was discovered no dpf fuel (eolys 176) in tank (spend after 75 thousand miles). After replacing the fluid, repairman didnt reset message (i was in hurry), so thank you so much mate!
Your welcome my friend!
I had that pop up.a couple of times today i'll be trying it tomorrow hope it helps thanks for the video
Worked like a charm on my 2011 tdci focus. Tnx
Your welcome my friend
Thanks for this video, i knew that would reset the "Service Oil" message but didn't know it does the Engine one as well! i just that warning today after reverse parking (service oil then engine) will try the reset and change oil next week!
Your more them welcome my friend!
It is working also on the manual ? 🤔
Thank you mate , I tried this on my ford kuga 2009 Reg Manual And it works ,
Bratku, srdečná vďaka.Na mojom Forde sa to stávalo častejšie. Prajem všetko dobré. 😉
Thanks I just sorted my mates mondeo with your help 😊😜
Legend mate, just found this and it worked on my kuga 👍
That of stepping on the accelerator and the brake at the same time, that will be the case of automatic Ford Focus, my question is, in the case of a Manual car how it will be.?
Thank you soon much 🥰🥰🥰🥰 worked on my ford Kuga.. much appreciated.. was getting worried here 🎉🎉🎉
Your welcome my friend
Thanks for the video fixed both of the warning light issues straight away
Thank You! Just got the same message and my first thought was the particle sensor... but the engine failure error comes from change oil message, so after 1 month without reset that message the new one pop-up...
Your more then welcome
I've a 2008 Focus Zetec 1.6L and although its not Engine Malfunction Message, but EMS symbol(Electrical stability) and I wonder would it work clearing mine. I will edit post later to say if it worked. I do have a service due end of this month so will inform the mechanic about it as it likely could be an actual problem!.
Good luck and thanks for watching
Nice one for that mate, just tried it and it worked perfectly on our 2008 tdci 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Your welcome
(1.8 Diesel Duratorque TDCI 2008) Hello, and thank you for the video. I had this malfunction for a second time now. Both times happens on a highway and the car looses power, and I have to pull over. After I switch it off, wait a bit, then switch it back on, the problem is gone. I have done computer diagnostic and it always says the turbine valve is the problem. That same valve has already been replaced with a second hand a couple of years ago. From the car service has sent it for repair again, but the guys said it was completely OK and returned it back. After that I had (mostly in cold days) red or yellow engine censor on the dashboard. Then yesterday, the engine malfunction happened again on the highway. I can feel the car is not accelerating the way it was before. Now I know if I go to the car service I will get the same turbine valve mistake. I would replace it with a brand new one if I know it will fix the issue but I am not sure it will. Any suggestions?
Don't have any experience with a turbine valve. But I have had replaced part before and they have still been faulty. If your usual garage is saying its fine it mite be worth either asking them to join you on a test drive although in this current pandemic it mite not be a good idea. Alternatively you could get a second appinon from a second garage. They may find something which is being missed by your original mechanic.
@@nutjob9696 thank you. I made the diagnostic and again the valve appeared. I will probably change it one more time, hopefully the new one will be in better condition.
@@van_k your welcome, hope it goes well this time round.
This procedure works for a ford galaxy mk2 2005 model. The car does not tell you that it has worked but if you follow the instructions in this video it will work. Cheers!
Wtfff u legend
Made me look like a complete hero infront of the wife and kid lol
Absolute legend brah. Worked perfectly. 👌
Mate!
You are magician.
Ford focus c-max 1.6 petrol zetec .
Works for me. Thanx
Your welcome my friend
I have the same , manual, do you think this work for me
I followed your video, but the reset isn’t done. When I get the message after turning the engine off and then to position II, I press both pedals for 20 seconds or more, but nothing happens. The malfunction message doesn’t go away. It’s a Ford Focus 2009 diesel. Any ideas?
did you fix the problem if you did please tell me details
Hi, I'm not sure if you will see this but I hope you do. I have had no oil service warning come up at all, then while driving today, I got an engine malfunction message come up and I had to pull over. Restarted the car and it started driving again but eventually engine malfunction message came on again. This happened 3 or 4 times till I got home. I'm just wondering if you know what might be the problem, and if I were to do this method, would this erase and potential malfunction in the engine from appearing on the dash again, or if there is a genuine malfunction will it appear again even if I carry out your method here. Thanks for the video 👍
Hey what happened to your car?
I’ve had the service engine oil for the past 6 months even though I’ve been changing the oil consistently but the engine malfunction light came on when I was in 5th gear and the car started to slow down a bit and had a burning smell
This is great thank you. The oil service message came on, 2008 Mondeo(despite me changing the oil)followed by engine malfunction message and yellow exclamation light. Followed it whilst in the car and worked a treat. Wonder how many garages would have said it needs to be re set on a scan and charged £50 for the pleasure. On a foot note though. The ok button on the steering wheel only temporarily removes the engine malfunction message but leaves the yellow ! light and everytime you turn the ignition on the em message will reappear. This is more permanent (🤞)
Your welcome my friend.
Had the message pop up when I went a little too fast on the dual carriageway, pulled over and restarted and it’s gone away, not sure if I should be concerned or if it was just my fast driving
Hey pearcey, did you get the errror again?
Eres el mejor muchas gracias. Te amo mi bro 😂
Thank you, helped me out straight away and solved the issue
Omg thanks! I was about to sell my car for spares!
Your welcome!
I had the same issue. In order to resolve it, I had to replace the problematic glow plugs. In my case, three out of four were completely burnt while the one was not functioning properly. The three burnt ones were not the cause of the issue as they were completely burnt. The one that was not functioning properly had to be replaced. After this, the message was completely gone.
Yes it work thnku love u bro we stuk on motorway very good
Your welcome, drive safe bro.
This happened to me yesterday. Ive had service oil light come on everytime i start the car, this started 4 weeks after an MOT. It says get oil fixed before 1k miles. Ive not done 1k miles but the engine malfunction light has come on so its booked in today for an oil filter change and oil change. Hopefully everything goes back to normal afterwards because its only done 34k miles. And its like brand new, although its 2010 plate.
It worked on my 2013 focus. Thanks a million 🤜
Your welcome
Hi, thanks you very much for the video, just got the same error and now is gone, want to know if you get it again? Or it was gone forever? Thanks
Really helped!! Thanks so much
Your welcome
Mate I have a 59 plate mk7 fiesta what does it mean when you've got a new turbo fitted and new EGR Valve runs and drives bang on. Sometimes when it wants when I go to 2k revs for the turbo about to kick it sometimes it dies lose power but still drives fine. Having to pull over turn car off and on and it's fine again till it happens again? Also orange light in dash shows orange crank symbol with exclamation mark inside it then says "engine malfunction please service now"
Did you ever get to the end of this fault? I have the exact same issue with my 09 fiesta titanium
What does this error indicate? Resetting this is great, but there may be a problem behind this
I have a 2010 zetec s
This has just come up on mine, shall i do the same thing to this in the video? I'm due to drive to the airport tomorrow for holiday 😫
Thanks friend - Mondeo TDCi Mk4 2008 now reset :)
Your welcome my friend!
Hi thanks for this video it also worked on my 09 manuel kuga.
You welcome.
Ford kuga 61 plays push start and unfortunately didn’t work for me, just moved back to the uk and only had the car a few weeks, any other suggestions please 😢
Thank you helped me so much 😊
Hi I have a similar problem with my Ford Cmax Turbo Diesel manual Will holding the throttle and the brake together work on my car?
although not helpful to me currently had an engine malfunction after cruise control turned off on the highway, simple engine off and back on was enough to get going again, will definitely keep this tip in mind if i ever get stuck tho, thanks !
Your welcome
Nice video very informative.. can I ask why my ford focus 2005 is automatically turning in a speed limit mode while I'm driving ? And can't drive fast more than 20cc
Thanks for watching, I'm afraid I don't know how to fix your speed limit mode problem. Keep looking and someone mite be able to help. Good luck.
It most likely sounds like your speed sensor is not working, this sends message to your car ECU.
@@aktarmeah3884 Thanks for the advice my friend.👍
Hey, my ford focus 2010 1.6 diseal has been doing the same thing. Whilst driving fast or pulling away (either way using high revolution) my car flashes engine malfunction and drops me into limp mode where I can't accelerate past 3000 revolutions, any help would be amazing thanks!
@@Bearmoot my 2010 kuga is doing the exact same thing right now, engine light is on but when I pull away or get to about 70 it goes into engine malfuntion, is this the same as yours?
I have a ford focus 09 1.6 diesel tdci,this message has started to appear on the instrument cluster.Its been in the local garage but they cant find any fault codes.Not sure what to do,like the car and dont want to get rid of it.
Did you ever find the problem? My car is the same now
@@jonathanosullivan2418 Spent another £450 on the problem but still no luck.Had to get rid of it in a trade in.Such a shame but you can only spend so much money on a car of that age.Hope you have more luck than i had.
Thank you so much worked for me
Are there any negative consequences to this method? Thanks!
I cant get it to work. Is the method different on manual gear cars?
Hi my friend, Sorry I don't have any experience with the manual version. If someone has please give advice. Hope you are able to get it sorted. Good luck.
Thanks mate, life saver 🙌
Your welcome
Brilliant, thank you so much
That will be useful to someone. On my car it’s simple to clear the service spanner light, but to reset error codes you have to do all sorts of stuff like disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes switching the ignition on opening windows moving the indicator stalk etc etc. Luckily I haven’t had to do it!
Its always comes on after it has said service oil so I'm hopping it will sort it now I've changed oil and reset service interval. Hopefully it's not a deeper fault, thanks for watching.
Does this work on a manual ford focus 2009 the work shop says that my car har run out of DPF additive and i have the check engine light for almos 3 weeks and i don't what to do. Pls reply
Does not work.. My software seems a bit diffrent. The warning triangle is bigger. I get no response doing this. Was it the first or the second place on the turn of the key??
I did the same on mine and it worked but the error kept coming back. Took it to the garage and was told the gateway module needs some resetting/repair although the re-coding wasn't necessary 🙄
Thanks..its works.. ford kuga
I've been having this issue on an 09 Focus diesel when fully loaded and often up hills. It loses power, but not limp mode, and an engine restart usually fixes it, although sometimes only for a matter of minutes. I don't know if the 2 pedal trick would help as it resets on restart anyway. I've also had the yellow malfunction light but no change in engine performance so all a bit odd. It always happens when in France which is an extra worry.
You can always try and let us know what happens. Good luck!
I'm having the same issue Rodger it's ok on the drive but when gathering speed it seems to lose power and the yellow warning light comes up
Your DPF is blocked.
Fill your tank and put a bottle of DPF CLEANER IN IT.
Then drive the bastard like ya stole it.
Use the gears Manual or auto to keep the revs around 2500 to 3000 drive for at least 20 minutes like this and in about 2 hours driving it will stop running like a sick pig and get up an go like a home sick angel.
The car should do a regeneration itself but don't rely on that.
Short stop start driving causes this, especially in cold climates, you need to run the engine temperature up around 80°c.
Try a bit of shade cloth on the bottom half of the radiator.
@@lukekennedy3000 Hi Luke, did you have any luck? I'm now having the same trouble. I've replaced my DPF filter and Catalytic converter and again same issue. My heart is broken with it.
Did you have any resolution?
does this work on manual cars
Well this couldn't have come at a better time. Our Ford Focus has started doing this. Tonight it came up Engine Malfunction and then Transmission problem. The first time it said Engine Malfunction then switched engine off and on again then it came up with Transmission Fault. Not sure if this will work.
Hi, I my car started doing same. Pls Can u tell me if u have sorted the problem
@@mubeenkaduji2121 The problem disappeared by itself. My Dad had been cleaning the car and we think water must have got in somewhere and messed with the computer/electrics. When it's dried out the problems stopped and haven't reocurred.
@@lornaedgar6861 oh great. Let me try same then. thank you for ur reply
My car is currently having this problem, but to the point the car won’t start. Will this help in making it start?
I can't guarantee as I've not been in that situation. I can only say it worked for turning of the engine malfunction message. Good luck.
Nut Job weirdly enough I plugged it in to a code reader deleted the faults and it’s started again. Could that mean that the cars ok now? It’s not showing up anymore faults.
Same problem with mine . How's your vehicle right now?
Thanks a lot! It worked with my Ford Focus 2009. 😀
Your welcome my friend
I try for my ford focus 2008. It dosen work.
@@crishankannangara1310 sorry to hear that. There mite be something which is faulty like a sensor or actuator. When you clear it automatically registers a fault. Hooe that helps, sorry if its not much use to you.
Hi....what about engine malfunction on 2008 petrol Ford focus....intermittent fault....it makes a chiming sound and it's written on the dash board engine malfunction. Any help appreciated.
Mine is 2009 ford focus so shouldn't be dissimilar. Give it a go and good luck.
This happened to me yesterday, but by time I got home it was off, but my car does need brake discs and callipers as it’s seizing up and wheel red hot, many, many things can bring this warning up, people get a fright when they see those words, and rightly so lol
Thanks for watching. Better get those brakes sorted my friend.
@@nutjob9696 Brakes all done today mate 😊
130k mileage, diagnostic all four plugs damaged. Solved !
Well done mate.
It's work😄 my car mk4 2010
omg I'm broke down and it's worked 😜😜 thank you
Your welcome. Hope you get home ok.
Is this for manual transmission too?
I don't think so. Bcus mine is manual and tried it but no luck
But doesn’t this just turn off the pop-up, not fixing the issue? What if the pop-up is there for a reason indicating that something is in-fact wrong? 😳 And are the steps the same in a manual?
Yes you are correct, the reason it comes on is most likely due to an underlying issue if you can find it. Yes it probably does show you this way in the manual, if you have access to one.😉
@@nutjob9696 The pop-up showed up once like a week ago and then it just disappeared and everything was normal... then yesterday it showed up twice on one ride and then today I could only start the car after 3 attemps. I’m gonna go get it checked out! - And I meant a manual as in a manual car. I live in Denmark, most of the cars here are manuals, not automatic 😂
@@zerinaimsirovic5419 sorry mate I'm not sure with manual gearboxes. I would try it just using the break and accelerator/gas, but not the clutch. Good luck.
yes but does it happen again after you have parked car then try to start it again,thats what mine does,like i said the car runs fine,there is another way that i can start car and that is turn the ignition on and off three times with a second in between,that works for me
Any idea what to do with one that has manual gear ? ;-))
Will this work on a ford focus 2012?
My engine malfunction only comes up a few seconds after starting the car and goes as soon as I turn it on
Sounds like you mite have a problem with engine starting up procedure. I would get a diagnostic check.
mine comes on and then the engine management comes on nown
This is only useful for oil change message and not for an engine fault code! Only with scan tools and the fault fixed can delete an error message
You can turn off the engine malfunction screen turn off when you park the car for long periods.?
Maybe? never tried.
Cheers bud, handy video
Worked for me, many thanks
Brilliant 💯
Just had mine fixed its the clocks need rewire 180 pounds i paid problems solved 👌
Hi , you were getting the same message on the cluster (engine malfunction ) ? I did reset but after few hours the message comes back engine malfunction !
Hi this also worked for my 2013 ford gaxaly titanium x
Thank you
Your welcome
Hey, any idea if this is going to reset the BMS as well? Or do you know any procedure to reset the BMS on the focus 2009?
Hello, what is a BMS?. Not sure if it will reset but you could give it a try. Good luck.
Legen… wait for it… Daryy… LEGENDARY 🔥
Thats cool but why is showing up in the first place?
Like, for me. Its popping up INTERMITTENTLY ever since two nights ago.
I drove through a MEDIUM sized puddle and thats when the warning STARTED.
It was quite alarming to say the least whilst driving on a busy duel carriageway!
Thanks for reading
Problems starting up,red light flashing clicking in engine doesn’t want to turn off,put new battery in 2010 push button start.
Sorry to hear you are having problems. Clicking in the engine sounds like an internal fault.
But what it be like if the engine really gone malfunctioning?
I have ford fokus 2013 benzine i have the same problem I bring it to the ford garage also they can’t fixed 😢 on my car is shoved these after I start the engine not immediately when I stop the engine is not showing only when I drive after 2 min is coming in the screen how can I fix it? Can’t someone help me??? And my car doesn’t have kee like in the video but start,stop
What if it is a manual. Because i got the same problem
Perfect it worked for me :)
