Pauly360 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Over the last 3 month my focus has had a engine system fault message flag up on the dash with a red indicator. Iv tried everything to found out what the fault is but can be intermittent and go . The car runs fine with no loss of power . Would this message mean it needs a pat fluid refill additive? .. I'm a little lost as normal code readers don't pick anything up . Like I say car runs and starts fine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hi, I had the same thing on my fiesta, turned out to be a glow plug. Does anything flashes in the dashboard? I had a cog with an exclamation mark. What app did you use to read faults? I tried a free version first but only after upgrading to pro it was able to read the fault code ( not sire if i am allowed to say which app) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly360 Posted November 13, 2017 Author Share Posted November 13, 2017 Hi thanks for the reply . It was 2 garages that have plugged it in with no codes that came up . And even sent it to a guy over the last week to see if it was an electrical problem . but again he checked everything and couldn't find anything . But now the fault is just constant.. But drives fine no smoke . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Hi! Then not sure what that would be - i have something in the dashboard so at least I knew there was something wrong ( i also have the red led that you have) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly360 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Fault sorted . It was a pat fluid refill ! But as I found this out and planned to do the pat fluid refill the engine management light came on . Cost me £40 for the filling kit off amazon . But after you will need to get someone to reset the warning ⚠️ lights . then all done . Works a treat hope this helps anyone here . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
