unofix Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 What size spanner ? 🤣 You need to use the software FORScan and get the DTC's only then will anyone be able to help you. Download FORScan: https://forscan.org/download.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeybear1980 Posted May 10, 2022 Author Share Posted May 10, 2022 Ive had it plugged in to diognostics and these are the codes that are showing...any ideas what the problem might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unofix Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Well using a generic diagnostic tool gets you basic generic codes which mostly don't help a great lot. Your options are use FORScan to get the Ford DTC'S or take it to a Ford dealer and get them to do the diagnostic test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoot Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 If its the spanner it might be a sliping clutch during hard acceleration in 1st or 2nd gear. Ford dealer advice, go easy on the gas and don't ride the clutch. You can reset by switching off ignition and back on again. A smell of clutch may be a givaway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RL123 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Possibly low battery voltage upsetting modules . If it’s original, then probably 5 years old, year and week nr stamped on top of negative terminal. just a guess in the absence of DTCs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoot Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Car looses power and goes into limp home mode when accelerating hard, fault clears when ignition is switched off an on again Using an OBD2 code readeriCAR PRO SCAN bluetooth 4.0 ELM 327 OBD2 Car Diagnostic Scanner For Android iOs (you can also get an apple version) (see Haynes best buys) the cheap one £13 using a smartphone brourght up the following: P0234(22) Raw code: 023422 ECU: Engine control unit Status: Test failed, Test failed (current drive cycle), Pending, Confirmed, Test failed since last DTC clear Turbocharger (TC), engine boost condition - limit exceeded Engine Overboost Condition ============2============== P132B(21) Raw code: 132B21 ECU: Engine control unit[Archive (inactive)] Status: Confirmed, Test not completed since last DTC clear TURBOCHARGER / SUPERCHARGER BOOST CONTROL "A" PERFORMANCE There is a non return valve on the vacuum pump held in by one screw and connected by a hoze clip. This valve assists with vaccum to the solenoid which controls the turbo in some way. This valve had failed. New one is about £10 or less. No ford part number as it comes with the vac pump.Serch on eBay for: Ford 1.0 & 1.5 Ecoboost Fiesta Focus Transit Vacuum Pump Valve Repair Set UK Take great care not to snap the hoze connector on the solenoid. If you do it is Ford part Number 7 04011.01. Problem is you get all the vacuum hose assembly as well. So use eBay and look for CM5G-9F490-AA and P416. This job is easy as access is simple, you may have to take the induction pipe off to aid access. If you want more info see utube vids on the issue and maybe use a vacuum gauge to diagnose. The vacuum pump is on the RHS driven off one of the camshafts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
