Engine Malfunction Warning no dtc codes?

[lewis1982]

Hello

 

I have a 2008 ford focus 1.5 diesel last year I had to have a new engine put it cause I bought a dodgy car, less than 10 months later and the engine malfunction light has come on but when Ive tried the dashboard trick that has been mentioned on some of the other forums there are no codes. Anyone got any ideas what the problem could be 

 

Thanks in advance

It could be loads of things.  You need the fault codes read properly, dash test isn't great tbh.

If you've got a laptop or smart phone, get an ELM cable or bluetooth dongle and read the codes using FORScan.

Hi Tom

 

Ive ran three different plug in devices now all of them get live readings from the car when its turned on but none of them are showing any faults an elm 327 interface a laptop and a specialist one too

 

thanks Lewis

Hmm, ok that's odd!  Could be a cluster fault.
