Urgent Help Needed - Fault Codes

Hi all

I have just done the diagnostics check through the dashboard on my focus mk3 and the car has thrown up 6 fault codes.

I need urgent help to understand what the codes are and what they mean.

c140_00 - 1st dtc

c121_00 - 2nd dtc

1607_82 - 3rd dtc (there was no letter on the dash)

c151_00 - 4th dtc

c214_00 - 5th dtc

1607_87 - 6th dtc (once again not letter)

 

I am really concerned something is wrong with my car, my blufin reader finds no codes when i do a search but direct from the car all these show up.

 

Does anyone know what each of these mean and what is the cause

 

Thanks in advance

    If your bluefin finds nothing, I'd unplug your batter for an hour to clear them or use your bluefin to clear any DTc codes, and then take it for a drive, if they come back, you have a problem, if not, then they could just be residual codes that never have been cleared.

    Leaving the codes will cause no issues... If your cars running fine then it's fine,

    Hi, I have the exact same issue as this on idle too and the same codes. Did you ever resolve?

    The codes in the menu are pretty useless. Really you need an odb scanner and forscan to get anything meaningful

    After the OP waited 5 years for an answer they bought a new car 🤣

    Use FORScan and get the proper DTC's then start a new thread in the Focus forum and I'm sure someone will help.
