Evening all, im new to the club. 

I have recently returned to the ford club after owning a terrible but lovable hyundia coupe.

I purchased a 09 focus 2.0 145 3dr in black with 59k, from an independent dealer. Has full dealer service history, 4 previous owner, with one of them adding KN induction kit. Drive very well, vast improvement to the old rusting tin can (hyundia).

my frind showed me the system check trick on his 1.8 59 plate, which blew me away abit.

Trying this out on my car i got 1 error the first time round.

((Nvm eeprom lvl 0001 fail))

Im not a novice to machanical faliers but am with sytems diaogs.

Not knowing what this was, I thought an ECU reset would maybe remove it. So i disconnected the battary for an hour and reconnected.

On doing this I now have an additional DTC code I did not have initially.

((DTC #01 D0009))

I am going to ring the garage I purchased the car from see what they will do as do have warranty. If this is covered.

I have also trolled the interweb and all i can find is a cluster fault for Nvm and posdible battery issue for the dtc. 

Having had the battary tested, I have been told its is working fine @ 12.9v. 

The car it self drives fine even eating up a celica off the lights. As my girl says compared to the the Hyundai its a Ferrari.

My friend with the 1.8 drove it and he seemed to thing nothing was wrong.

Does any one have any advice on the codes or has anyone had either of the above codes and could advise on a solution to rectify.

Finger crossed its nothing major.

Much appreciated

I have come across several cases where these in-car diagnostic readouts seem to be giving codes that don't seem to mean anything.

A code reader or scanner is much better. It can clear codes, if you want, without disconnecting the battery. which means losing radio settings and other optional settings, and the ECU having to relearn some engine settings.

A basic OBD2 scanner will read most engine related codes. For Fords, a powerful system called Forscan is available that can read far more codes from all modules, and display & log live data on most engine related bits. ELMConfig is also available, using the same adapter that Forscan uses, that can select various useful options and add-ons in the car.

Have a look round this site, or post here if you want more info. A basic scanner can be bought for just £10, Forscan can cost as little as £15. One visit (out of warranty) to a dealer to get a diagnostic check can cost £80.

If you bought it from a Ford dealer, or Ford specialist, they will have the Ford IDS system, that can check all the car's systems, so should be able to see if the codes you have are important or not. Other garages may struggle a bit.
