@TomsFocus- if i can access the as built data could I simply download it and overwrite and clear the crash data instead of replacing the RCM module? also is there a way of finding out the correct part numbers for any part of the vehicle without accessing the part first. Is there a database with this information?

Thanks again. Much appreciated.

I hold them by the metal base for that reason. The traces of skin oil can supposedly cause the glass to crack when heated. I have never seen one actually break.

Where in FORScan did you find the ability to monitor the MLPS I couldn’t find it? thanks

yes ordered MLPS it can be monitored in forscan it shows different voltage for each gear selected. i also had the limp mode issue and it turned out to be a loose jubilee clip at the throttle body and loosing boost would send the car into limp mode, i could flick the engine off and back on while still in gear and fault would dispensary go to floor it again same issue, but i brought the revs up slowly it wouldnt be a problem

You are experiencing very similar codes to me (although I only get them under certain circumstances - warm engine, under acceleration or load i.e hill) A few people pointed me towards a ground fault, however I have yet to identify a source. I have tried changing the PCM to a new one and that has not solved the problem. I cannot monitor the MLPS readings through the oscilloscope on FORScan, however I could monitor some of the other sensors which are intermittently flagging up for me (IAT, CACT, MAP, MAF), and they are spiking down to 0v when I put my foot down which seems to prompt the errors. My current working theory is that they share a common ground which is playing up or there is some corrosion or something which affects a wire common to all of those sensors. I have taken the sensor you have put a photograph of (the MLPS) off (it's just the one bolt), and it's an induction sensor which has a plastic face sitting against the gearbox. I don't think it uses the gearbox ground for anything as there is no metallic contact with the box. My next attempt will be to replace the engine wiring harness. Will be very interested to find out what solves your issues. What have you ordered to try? The MLPS (gear lever position sensor)?

O, i get what you mean i just meant that if opened it would unleash evil and would break everything. That makes sense. Took it for a long drive, couldn't tell any difference, was trying all the switches etc to see if anything else not working, all works good. Did have this previously and it went away on its own would come up once in blue moon. Have started the car prob 40+ times trying to sort the code and looking at things, just staring blanky at fuses, engine bay thinking is anything loose. I contacted Pandora previously but the cost to just look at the car was silly money, and to remove it over £200 which is silly as what happens if that not the problem, will be money down and alarm down. Not sure where is the ST forum?

I have a 2017 focus MK3, should’ve made that clear, apologies

you can have a read here

Reject the vehicle !!! 👍 (it's not too late).

what sensor have you ordered? are you having only a single fault code come up or do you get multiple like me?

Buy a Focus 2012 model and then fit the whole car to yours. 🤔 I doubt that your GEM will support automatic headlights.

your welcome 😊

Great thanks, will have a look tomorrow 👍🏻

Thank you

im having the same issue have ordered the sensor and will be delivered tomorrow will let you know the outcome

What about the 6DCT451? Will the same apply as mine is the above number

Hi Ken,also new,first Ford since mark 1 escort early 80s( second hand)

Never actually seen it myself, but I understand it is fitted under the front passenger seat. It is more like a small briefcase in shape, not like a traditional 12V car battery.
