Pizza247 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Son bought a new car; gave hubby his Ford Fiesta. Ran fine. Got in today went to back up. Came across: hill climb mode not available. Brakes acted as though they were locked. He put it in park; turned car off. Now won’t even turn over. Any suggestions on what to look at?

Neb_engineer Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 do you have the ability to read live data off the car, if so can you read what the MAF is telling the ECU while trying to crank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb_engineer Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 also is that a P0101 code you read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neb_engineer Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Is that the only code he read, because a P0101 shouldn't cause a no crank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 It does sound like a battery fault. Is it the correct battery? Are the terminals tight? What voltage is it showing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neb_engineer Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 are you sure there isn't any other codes aside from those two codes, as those two codes still wouldn't stop it from cranking, because p0101 is a MAF code, p0402 is an EGR related code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
