Engine Malfunction Warning

Featured Replies

Is any one else experiencing the EM warning on a tdci focus only during cold weather (freezing)? Mine come on there's a loss of power and the read out says a drop injector pressure, which returns to normal when temperatures out side get above freezing, this has happened 4 times now!



No not experienced that on mine only time I've had it on is when the water pump went

Thanks, funny enough the water pump is noisy!

I have had the same issue however the light has not gone off and don't really know how to find out what the problem is.

I've had this before and it turned out to be a blocked fuel filter, I've changed the filter and not had any trouble since

It seems to be good practice to renew fuel filters on Ford diesels every year / 12k max.

the car was purchased in August 2014 and I had a receipt for a full service, I suspect the fuel filter wasn't changed, mike_the_spy any garage should be able who check the EMS records codes until there're cleared even though they disappear from the dash. 5 minute job they plug their hand held machine in under the steering coloumn and anylis the codes. Some don't even charge to do this!

Yea I have a friend with a diagnostic machine but its just a pain to get my car to him

Translation is - engine knackered, take to garage now! 

It's not asking for a service. 

If you use the software FORScan then you be able to get the Ford specific DTC's and find out what's wrong.
