Neilhughes Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Please can someone help, I have a focus 1.6 tdci 110 2010 plate The car has gone into limp mode, and when obd is checked there r no faults found throughout the entire car, it won't go above 3000rpm and can't figure out what it could be without a fault code to be found anywhere in the car Thanks Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcor Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 What diagnostics has been used to check it for codes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilhughes Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Unsure sorry was done in a garage, been told codes came up they were cleared but limp mode still active Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilhughes Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 And no codes have re occurred since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW1982 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Sounds like the classic instrument cluster problem. The Focus MK2/MK2.5 is known to have bad soldering connections on the circuit board of the instrument cluster. These soldering connections become cracked during time which can cause very strange problems. Going into limp mode without any relating DTC codes is one of them.

simcor Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Yep I would be inclined to agree if there are no other DTC's stored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilhughes Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Really odd but I've started the car n taken for a short drive and limp mode has gone off, friend plugged into the car, with no saved faults on the car, being told the garage could have pulled a plug or something under the bonnet which could have triggered it, and he checked for light cluster codes as you've mentioned with nothing showing, thanks for the help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphvale Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Did you get the car new? Does it still have the DPF? Some cheap DPF off solutions will just erase the error codes tables. Car can still go into limp mode, but diagnostic is impossible. Easiest way to check is to disconnect the MAF and check with ELM if any error shows up. If not, error codes table has been cleared.
