cbirchy87 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Good Morning, I'm having some issues with my MK2 Focus 2005. 1.6 Sport. I get an intermittent issue when turning the car on. on in about every 50-70 times maybe more I get a Powertrain LED light up on the dash. it when go when the car is turned off and on again. I've run my Torque app and this error code is P060C. When this code is cleared a P1000 is left, as the ecu will clear when x amount of fault free miles have been taken. (No idea how many) Yesterday it happened again, same error code, but this time the car struggled to start, like a low battery type thing, This time a P0562 was logged - System Voltage low. I got the car to start after a few goes, and left it on my drive. Went to use it this morning half expecting it not to work. It worked fine, no issues at all. Any Ideas would be great.

MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 14.3 volts is good - so not likely that there are issues with charging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Is the battery the original one fitted ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbirchy87 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 I didn't check. Didn't have any aftermarket stickers though. It Halfords etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbirchy87 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Would it make a difference? The issue went away as quick as it appeared. could the other power train issue be linked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Well . . . . system voltage issues are often associated with alternator charging voltage or battery voltage or a possible wiring / connection issue As your alternator is charging the battery, the next logical step is to determine the state of the battery itself, & if it's original it could well be on it's last legs. A simple load test that most garages can perform will tell you if the battery is serviceable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
