Paul22law Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks I will try disconnecting it,must admit when the light is on it seems a better car for power, on my way to work today it's unbelievable how many times I have to drop a gear to build speed up,it's always seems to come on around 2000 revs in 3Rd gear it's doing my nut in,il try that tomorrow and get back to you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzetecs Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 26 minutes ago, Tdci-Peter said: The light should be constantly On, because lack of MAF is a fault. But if the MAF itself is faulty, then many people have found that the car drives much better without the faulty MAF connected. Once you have diagnosed the MAF as the problem, you will need to replace it, or sometimes just clean it, before you can, hopefully, get back to driving a decent car with no EML on. My light is constantly on at moment which is normal and drives great, was going to try and reset dtc but surely will come back on again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However this is down as an oil temperature sensor problem, and as far as I know, no Mk2/2a Focus has one of these. Knowing the engine type might help. They all have a simple oil pressure switch, I have seen no reference to oil temperature. I suggest getting a good diagnostic system like Forscan. It is under £20 if you have access to a Windows laptop, a little more on a smart phone. The dash diagnostics are far from comprehensive.

Fiddey Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 bought a 1.6 diesel. Month ago had no problems until today had mot and service before car was bought. Engine malfunction light appears cant clear it using the break and accelerater and done self diagnostic and no dtm codes . Any ideas thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicam49 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 There will be codes, but you'll need a code reader to access them. It will be an investment for you to buy your own, rather than pay a garage to read and reset them for you. You can get a dependable one for under £20 from Tunnelrat electronics, (see their website) theyre UK based and you can email them for advice to help you choose the right one for you..Only then , when you've got codes, can we have any idea what's upsetting your mota. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary41 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Guys I had this whilst driving home from work last night. I was driving through road works so I was only doing 40mph and it just appeared out of nowhere. Got out the roadworks and car was fine no loss of power etc was driving normal and sounded normal just this message. Bit ***** off as I've only had the car since September 2020 and help? I've read up people saying mostly about fuel filters. It's a 2.0 zetec S mk3 2013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debbie150 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I have a 2010 1.6 focus titanium and my engine malfunction came on whilst I was driving and I lost all power I had to coast to road side. I left car overnight and went back next day, car started fine and engine malfunction had gone off and ran fine for 2 month then same thing happened again today. But engine malfunction stayed on. Put a shop bought code reader onto car and it came back with no codes. I can’t go through the diagnostic that is posted further up as my car is start/stop push button start so I can’t use ignition settings, anyone have any ideas???

The cheap code reader won't pick up ford specific codes. You need forscan on a laptop really. The dashboard test menu method is useless anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a shop bought code reader onto car and it came back with no codes If a warning lamp is on, there will be some codes stored somewhere in the car. As Luke says, many generic (multi-manufacturer) scanners are not good at picking up Ford specific codes. Sometimes codes do vanish quickly with one or two ignition cycles, but if the light stays on I would expect the code to still be there. I also recommend Forscan as the best available system for Fords. It is not expensive, though it may not be the most convenient or easiest to use system. But it is powerful. There is loads of advice about it on this site, See There are literally many hundreds of reasons for the EML (engine warning lamp) to come on. For any hope of diagnosis, a description of symptoms (does it even attempt to start or turn over?), engine type and the codes are all needed.

Aggydo1 Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I have the same problem which also on occasion doesn’t allow me to start the car. Even stranger is that if I open the bonnet and re shut it I can then start the car! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
