    Thanks. Just saved me a few bucks and a headache. I would start my car and drive with the dash I. Test mode on battery Voltage and it was good. Hold down trip reset before tur jng the key. After turning the key on keep holding until test. Cycle through various tests until getting to battery.

Good thing I can't afford it yet. Now I'm going to see if its the connector. Thank you. I have spent so much already. Hopefully this video is the answer to my problem. Thank you again

Now I know what to do if it does it again. I had no idea it had little motorized flaps behind the grill. The sh@t they come up with ! sheesh. Thanks again!

      Is it normal for the voltage to be between 12-14 volts? I saw that the charging systems on these cars are “smart” and can fluctuate

    I have this issue but the battery light comes on intermittently. Switching the engine off and back on normally sorted it. Other day though it was on constantly and eventually lost all power to car. Left for 5 mins and managed to start the car again, no light. Had local garage check car and alternator/battery all good. Do you think unplugging this cable could resolve issue, or is it just for a constant battery light?

    thank you for the video and i need your experience here... i have same car (2012 focus 1.6 Tİ-VCT powershift transmission and almost 75k miles) and i also have a battery warning light on and off occasionally... i am driving my car with the test mode on and i am tracking my batteries voltage value past a few weeks . The engine starts around 12,8 (sudden drop and rise during ignition) and rises up to 14,5 V in seconds... But after some miles it starts to decrease 0,1 by 0,1... on the highway it stays on around 13,3 V but in traffic jam it decreases a lot till 13,0 V... i get battery warning light last night and the value was 11,6 V.... after couple of miles voltage increased suddenly to 14,1 V again... now i would like to ask that do i have to renew my alternator or my 1 year old battery... and one important thing is here there was no shudder problem with my transmission when the battery voltage value more than 14,3 volts... smooth transmission and my car starts obvious shuddering when it decreases 13,6 volts... please give your feedbacks and thanks in advance...
