Mk4 Exhaust emission control sensor fault

[Dark Andy]

My engine warning light came on on the way home from shopping today and sent the message below to me via the FordPass app. I'll hopefully be able to phone my local garage tomorrow between Microsoft Teams meetings but wondered if people with experience of this car / engine (1.0l Ecoboost 125ps) think it's likely to be something genuine or just a momentary glitch in the system which has triggered a fault warning?

Edit: should also add that the car had just its first service and oil change a week or so ago - just in case that relevant.

Had it fixed at the dealers today- faulty o2 sensor apparently. I did ask specifically if the engine oil had been over filled at the service it had just under 2 weeks ago, and whether that would have resulted in the engine burning oil and sooting-up the sensor but was assured that was not the case - apparently the timing was just "one of those things".

Good evening Andy, 

 

My Ford is showing the same message, can I ask how much was it to fix? Mine has just run out of warranty as it’s 3 years old. Cheers

I think your 2011 Focus might just be out of warranty by a tad more.  🤔
