isetta Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 i don't really know the answer. But I can tell you that the car ecu can hold codes for a long time and when you read them they have no dates. So it is possible some are lingering from old blips of some sort. You always need to read codes, then clear codes and see which ones come back. Otherwise you can be worrying about things which are not a problem. It sounds like you have a problem but do what I have said and it might help focus on the real issues, not red herrings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizer Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Most of the codes, especially the "U" ones could have been set when the car was being fixed. If you have an active Ford Pass App open it up and have a look at the messages. If it is the same as the MK4 Focus it will show the date and time that the codes were generated.

Kental Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Prior to the Fiesta, we had a 18 plate Ka+ that had a Hill Assist error & it took the garage a couple of visits to get to the bottom of. It was eventually diagnosed to the wiring loom behind the glovebox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky2887 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 I tried the ford pass app don’t think the fiesta supports the vehicle health check each time It was pressed it sent me back to the home screen. personally I think this is a wiring related problem but try telling them at Ford I feel as though I’m talking to a brick wall and getting no resolution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
