Engine malfunction

hello names John and I'm a new member.

I have a Ford focus 2012 1.6 diesel. I'm starting to get probles with it.

the engine malfunction comes on the little screen on the dash then goes off straight away and puts the car into limp mode. Once i turn the car off and start it up again it runs fine for about 30mins. Sometimes it won't cut out for days but on other days it can cut out up to 5 times. It's been hooked up to a diagnostic machine but shows no error codes. 

does anyone have any suggestions what it could be before I take it to the garage?

thanks John
