fladavid Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 My 55 plate 2.0 Ghia Focus has a problem with the engine management light. When I start the car it illuminates for approximately 10 seconds and then goes out and doesn't come on again. During that 10 seconds the rev counter, temperature guage, fuel guage and,I assume if I was driving, the speedometer don't liven up at all. When they all come on and start showing readings the engine management light extinguishes. Has anybody had similar problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trillionz Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Got a code reader so you can see if in the time the lights on a code is being generated? that will tell you what is happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fladavid Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Just used my fault code reader and found one fault (see screenshots). Not sure if this fault would cause the dashboard dials to start working, and the EM light to extinguish, 14 seconds after starting the car though? Or perhaps that's a separate problem?
