richphillips Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hope someone can shed some light on this problem... My 57 plate Smax has cut out 4 times today with the engine malfunction and esp light coming on. I had read alot about the DPF needing to regenerate itself and bought some Wynns DPF cleaner a few weeks back and had no real problems with it, until today where it cut out four times but luckily I was on a pretty slow road every time. It's pretty obvious that others have had the same problem as i've read alot about it, just need an answer now as to what is the best plan of action do i keep putting cleaner in and flushing the filter or would it need replacing seeing as it's done 78k miles. Any help and advice greatly appreciated, Thanks Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregers Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 have you done the on board diagnostic check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
137699 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 A generic code reader may not report all the fault codes - you need to get it to Ford (or a Ford specialist) and connected to the IDS system for a fault diagnosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richphillips Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 I have done the onboard diagnostics test and had the following dtc # C14000 which is the traction control valve rf circuit failure, would this cause the car to stop and go into limp mode?

richphillips Posted April 13, 2014 Author Share Posted April 13, 2014 Thanks for the reply gregers, do you find it happens in similar circumstances? With mine it seems to be when i accelerate on a bend. Any idea what the best solution is to fix this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
