Fiesta 1.4 tdci power train warning light

[Jtom]

Hi

my 2010 1.4 tdci has just illuminated the power train warning light whilst travelling up a nearby hill. The light went off after a restart, It’s done 110k with full dealer history. Will a generic code reader reveal the cause or is there a common problem behind it ?

 Thanks

Do you have one already?  If so, it's worth a try.  If not, go straight for FORScan, that'll pick up far more than a generic scanner.

Could be as simple as needing a fuel filter change if you want to try that before spending out on diagnostics.  Also worth listening for a boost leak (whistle/squeak) while under load pulling uphill as well.

Hi

I downloaded FORScan and got code P193b throttle/pedal signal, what would be the next step ?

Many thanks
