cmxpress Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 My old Focus Zetec 07-reg recently started showing a red light with the message "engine systems fault" and going into limp mode. I've run a diagnostic and come up with errors in the following areas: P0299 - Turbocharger/Supercharger Underboost - Signal above maximum threshold P0234 - Turbo/Super Charger Overboost Condition - Signal below min threshold P0335 - CKP Sensor A Circuit - Signal above max threshold P0704 - Clutch switch input circuit malfunction - Invalid signal P0380 - Glowplug control circuit - Signal above max threshold P0490 - Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Circuit High - above threshold P042F - EGR Control Stuck Closed - above threshold These all seemed to have arisen after the car was sat on the drive for about 6 months in Lockdown. The battery was a bit low, and it took a few starts to get going, but has been ok since then. I checked the battery terminals and was getting a low signal at first, but a bit of a drive seems to have charged the battery a little. The car had a new Turbo about 3 years ago, so I'm not really expecting that to be an issue. wondered if any these fault indicated a more serious problem, and if so what it *could* be. Didn't really want to Shell a load out at a garage if it's going to cost more than another car to fix as money is a bit tight right now. I've attached the full diagnostic report here. If anyone could help with some advice that would be much appreciated! 2021-05-11.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenFord Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I'll be the first to advise. You need to give the battery a proper charge with a charger. Until it's punching out at least 12.8v, you'll never have a baseline for the faults as so many will be caused by a low battery output. (car will start with less, but it won't be on all systems go until full charge) Taking her 'a drive' won't really cut it I'm afraid... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmxpress Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 @StephenFord - thanks for that, I'll give her a good charge then try her again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
