you are absolute legend. I almost got a mini heart attack when I got engine malfunction message while I was driving. But your video helped me !! Thank you
Your more the welcome
Me too:))
I was going to work this morning and got the message too, my heart almost jumped out of my chest when I saw it :))
Happened to me just right this morning😢😢😢
Does this work on a manual ford focus 2009 the work shop says that my car har run out of DPF additive and i have the check engine light for almos 3 weeks and i don't what to do. Pls reply
Does anyone know if the Volvo v40 t3 2013 shares the same engine?
Didn't work for me :(, I have the 2010 Titanium
Sorry it didn't work my friend.
Does this solve the issue or just temporarily get rid of the message ?
That of stepping on the accelerator and the brake at the same time, that will be the case of automatic Ford Focus, my question is, in the case of a Manual car how it will be.?
why does ford always bring up this problem ???
I followed your video, but the reset isn’t done. When I get the message after turning the engine off and then to position II, I press both pedals for 20 seconds or more, but nothing happens. The malfunction message doesn’t go away. It’s a Ford Focus 2009 diesel. Any ideas?
did you fix the problem if you did please tell me details
I have ford fokus 2013 benzine i have the same problem I bring it to the ford garage also they can’t fixed 😢 on my car is shoved these after I start the engine not immediately when I stop the engine is not showing only when I drive after 2 min is coming in the screen how can I fix it? Can’t someone help me??? And my car doesn’t have kee like in the video but start,stop
I've a 2008 Focus Zetec 1.6L and although its not Engine Malfunction Message, but EMS symbol(Electrical stability) and I wonder would it work clearing mine. I will edit post later to say if it worked. I do have a service due end of this month so will inform the mechanic about it as it likely could be an actual problem!.
Good luck and thanks for watching
Did this but didn't work bought a £20 OBD2 reader cleared it! You can get a OBD2 as cheap as £10!
Thank You! Just got the same message and my first thought was the particle sensor... but the engine failure error comes from change oil message, so after 1 month without reset that message the new one pop-up...
Your more then welcome
My engine malfunction only comes up a few seconds after starting the car and goes as soon as I turn it on
Sounds like you mite have a problem with engine starting up procedure. I would get a diagnostic check.
mine comes on and then the engine management comes on nown
Thank you helped a lot my focus is 09 and that has been happening
Hi, I'm not sure if you will see this but I hope you do. I have had no oil service warning come up at all, then while driving today, I got an engine malfunction message come up and I had to pull over. Restarted the car and it started driving again but eventually engine malfunction message came on again. This happened 3 or 4 times till I got home. I'm just wondering if you know what might be the problem, and if I were to do this method, would this erase and potential malfunction in the engine from appearing on the dash again, or if there is a genuine malfunction will it appear again even if I carry out your method here. Thanks for the video 👍
Hey what happened to your car?
Svp je comprends pas l'anglais tu peux me traduire la méthode en français
We got this message too (focus 2010) and found this very useful: ua-cam.com/video/ei7JguJ0apE/v-deo.html Seems like bad soldering at the CAN-bus connection to the instrument cluster is prone to disrupt the very important communication between engine, transmission (if automatic), cluster and more.
I think I've seen a similar repair video. Thank you for letting us know.
What does this error indicate? Resetting this is great, but there may be a problem behind this
Message returns on mine after a few miles and and affects the acceleration of the vehicle.
My liga 2009 disel shows 0/m while engine malfuncion
Absolute legend brah. Worked perfectly. 👌
This procedure works for a ford galaxy mk2 2005 model. The car does not tell you that it has worked but if you follow the instructions in this video it will work. Cheers!
Well done. This did the job and saved me a trip to the garage to get it fixed. 👍
I’ve had the service engine oil for the past 6 months even though I’ve been changing the oil consistently but the engine malfunction light came on when I was in 5th gear and the car started to slow down a bit and had a burning smell
Soldering caused my dads Focus to display this message even though the car was fine Ford didn’t use the correct soldering
But what it be like if the engine really gone malfunctioning?
Bro wtf I just fixed mine, was in the freeway and it came off I freaked out and pulled over. But after watching this I fixed it, cheers mate!
Your welcome my friend.
Mate I have a 59 plate mk7 fiesta what does it mean when you've got a new turbo fitted and new EGR Valve runs and drives bang on. Sometimes when it wants when I go to 2k revs for the turbo about to kick it sometimes it dies lose power but still drives fine. Having to pull over turn car off and on and it's fine again till it happens again? Also orange light in dash shows orange crank symbol with exclamation mark inside it then says "engine malfunction please service now"
Did you ever get to the end of this fault? I have the exact same issue with my 09 fiesta titanium
(1.8 Diesel Duratorque TDCI 2008) Hello, and thank you for the video. I had this malfunction for a second time now. Both times happens on a highway and the car looses power, and I have to pull over. After I switch it off, wait a bit, then switch it back on, the problem is gone. I have done computer diagnostic and it always says the turbine valve is the problem. That same valve has already been replaced with a second hand a couple of years ago. From the car service has sent it for repair again, but the guys said it was completely OK and returned it back. After that I had (mostly in cold days) red or yellow engine censor on the dashboard. Then yesterday, the engine malfunction happened again on the highway. I can feel the car is not accelerating the way it was before. Now I know if I go to the car service I will get the same turbine valve mistake. I would replace it with a brand new one if I know it will fix the issue but I am not sure it will. Any suggestions?
Don't have any experience with a turbine valve. But I have had replaced part before and they have still been faulty. If your usual garage is saying its fine it mite be worth either asking them to join you on a test drive although in this current pandemic it mite not be a good idea. Alternatively you could get a second appinon from a second garage. They may find something which is being missed by your original mechanic.
@@nutjob9696 thank you. I made the diagnostic and again the valve appeared. I will probably change it one more time, hopefully the new one will be in better condition.
@@van_k your welcome, hope it goes well this time round.
Had the message pop up when I went a little too fast on the dual carriageway, pulled over and restarted and it’s gone away, not sure if I should be concerned or if it was just my fast driving
Hey pearcey, did you get the errror again?
Wtfff u legend
Made me look like a complete hero infront of the wife and kid lol
Worked like a charm on my 2011 tdci focus. Tnx
Your welcome my friend
I just turn off and on...but coming back
does this work on manual cars
But what about the misfire?
I have a ford focus 09 1.6 diesel tdci,this message has started to appear on the instrument cluster.Its been in the local garage but they cant find any fault codes.Not sure what to do,like the car and dont want to get rid of it.
Did you ever find the problem? My car is the same now
@@jonathanosullivan2418 Spent another £450 on the problem but still no luck.Had to get rid of it in a trade in.Such a shame but you can only spend so much money on a car of that age.Hope you have more luck than i had.
This is only useful for oil change message and not for an engine fault code! Only with scan tools and the fault fixed can delete an error message
But doesn’t this just turn off the pop-up, not fixing the issue? What if the pop-up is there for a reason indicating that something is in-fact wrong? 😳 And are the steps the same in a manual?
Yes you are correct, the reason it comes on is most likely due to an underlying issue if you can find it. Yes it probably does show you this way in the manual, if you have access to one.😉
@@nutjob9696 The pop-up showed up once like a week ago and then it just disappeared and everything was normal... then yesterday it showed up twice on one ride and then today I could only start the car after 3 attemps. I’m gonna go get it checked out! - And I meant a manual as in a manual car. I live in Denmark, most of the cars here are manuals, not automatic 😂
@@zerinaimsirovic5419 sorry mate I'm not sure with manual gearboxes. I would try it just using the break and accelerator/gas, but not the clutch. Good luck.
This happened to me yesterday, but by time I got home it was off, but my car does need brake discs and callipers as it’s seizing up and wheel red hot, many, many things can bring this warning up, people get a fright when they see those words, and rightly so lol
Thanks for watching. Better get those brakes sorted my friend.
@@nutjob9696 Brakes all done today mate 😊
Hi....what about engine malfunction on 2008 petrol Ford focus....intermittent fault....it makes a chiming sound and it's written on the dash board engine malfunction. Any help appreciated.
Mine is 2009 ford focus so shouldn't be dissimilar. Give it a go and good luck.
I cant get it to work. Is the method different on manual gear cars?
Hi my friend, Sorry I don't have any experience with the manual version. If someone has please give advice. Hope you are able to get it sorted. Good luck.
Thank you mate , I tried this on my ford kuga 2009 Reg Manual And it works ,
Nice video very informative.. can I ask why my ford focus 2005 is automatically turning in a speed limit mode while I'm driving ? And can't drive fast more than 20cc
Thanks for watching, I'm afraid I don't know how to fix your speed limit mode problem. Keep looking and someone mite be able to help. Good luck.
It most likely sounds like your speed sensor is not working, this sends message to your car ECU.
@@aktarmeah3884 Thanks for the advice my friend.👍
Hey, my ford focus 2010 1.6 diseal has been doing the same thing. Whilst driving fast or pulling away (either way using high revolution) my car flashes engine malfunction and drops me into limp mode where I can't accelerate past 3000 revolutions, any help would be amazing thanks!
@@Bearmoot my 2010 kuga is doing the exact same thing right now, engine light is on but when I pull away or get to about 70 it goes into engine malfuntion, is this the same as yours?
Ford done mine £1000
Thanks for this video, i knew that would reset the "Service Oil" message but didn't know it does the Engine one as well! i just that warning today after reverse parking (service oil then engine) will try the reset and change oil next week!
Your more them welcome my friend!
It is working also on the manual ? 🤔
I've been having this issue on an 09 Focus diesel when fully loaded and often up hills. It loses power, but not limp mode, and an engine restart usually fixes it, although sometimes only for a matter of minutes. I don't know if the 2 pedal trick would help as it resets on restart anyway. I've also had the yellow malfunction light but no change in engine performance so all a bit odd. It always happens when in France which is an extra worry.
You can always try and let us know what happens. Good luck!
I'm having the same issue Rodger it's ok on the drive but when gathering speed it seems to lose power and the yellow warning light comes up
Your DPF is blocked.
Fill your tank and put a bottle of DPF CLEANER IN IT.
Then drive the bastard like ya stole it.
Use the gears Manual or auto to keep the revs around 2500 to 3000 drive for at least 20 minutes like this and in about 2 hours driving it will stop running like a sick pig and get up an go like a home sick angel.
The car should do a regeneration itself but don't rely on that.
Short stop start driving causes this, especially in cold climates, you need to run the engine temperature up around 80°c.
Try a bit of shade cloth on the bottom half of the radiator.
@@lukekennedy3000 Hi Luke, did you have any luck? I'm now having the same trouble. I've replaced my DPF filter and Catalytic converter and again same issue. My heart is broken with it.
Did you have any resolution?
I had the same issue. In order to resolve it, I had to replace the problematic glow plugs. In my case, three out of four were completely burnt while the one was not functioning properly. The three burnt ones were not the cause of the issue as they were completely burnt. The one that was not functioning properly had to be replaced. After this, the message was completely gone.
This happened to me yesterday. Ive had service oil light come on everytime i start the car, this started 4 weeks after an MOT. It says get oil fixed before 1k miles. Ive not done 1k miles but the engine malfunction light has come on so its booked in today for an oil filter change and oil change. Hopefully everything goes back to normal afterwards because its only done 34k miles. And its like brand new, although its 2010 plate.
Trash dont work
it doesn't work for me, I have a ford kuga 2008 2.0 tdci, I start it with the Button and it doesn't work for me, I did it exactly and nothing
worked but my car goes to "speed limited mode" Anyone else?
Thanks mate, now I have this problem and I don't know what to do.. Glad to God I find your video
God bless you my friend
If you still have your Ford [ now 2 years later ] then engine malfunction message shows also when the fault is related to anything in exhaust system. I had same issue with my 2010 Mondeo and it was EGR valve.
بجرّبها عندي في الفورد فوكس ... وإذا راحت المشكله بدعي لك ... وإذا ماراحت مقطعك بلله واشرب مويته 🙄
Thanks for watching my friend. Sorry I'm not an Arabic speaker and I'm having difficulty coping and pasting into Google translate. Hope everything is ok with your car.
@@nutjob9696 this is what I got when I translated it...Give it a try at my Ford Focus... and if the problem goes away, let me call you... and if your clip doesn't get wet, wet it and drink its water 😆
Your a legend that's just worked on my Mrs 60 plate Mondeo. Thanks man.
Thank you soon much 🥰🥰🥰🥰 worked on my ford Kuga.. much appreciated.. was getting worried here 🎉🎉🎉
Your welcome my friend
Thats cool but why is showing up in the first place?
Like, for me. Its popping up INTERMITTENTLY ever since two nights ago.
I drove through a MEDIUM sized puddle and thats when the warning STARTED.
It was quite alarming to say the least whilst driving on a busy duel carriageway!
Thanks for reading
I've got the same problem. The car won't even start.its a2009 c max 1.6.petrol c.max.
Does not work.. My software seems a bit diffrent. The warning triangle is bigger. I get no response doing this. Was it the first or the second place on the turn of the key??
I had the same problem as well. Why does this message even pop up??
Idk why it does that
Hi, this also worked on my wife's 2010 manual Kuga, thank you very much 😊
I did the same on mine and it worked but the error kept coming back. Took it to the garage and was told the gateway module needs some resetting/repair although the re-coding wasn't necessary 🙄
Apakah bisa cara itu di lakukan untuk ford focus tahun 2005 2.0cc? Terima kasih atas jawabannya
Don't work for me, tried it 5 times, also tried the one (different video) where ya punch top of dashboard which didn't work either
Is this for manual transmission too?
I don't think so. Bcus mine is manual and tried it but no luck
Ford kuga 61 plays push start and unfortunately didn’t work for me, just moved back to the uk and only had the car a few weeks, any other suggestions please 😢
Omg thanks! I was about to sell my car for spares!
Your welcome!
Really helped!! Thanks so much
Your welcome
Nice one for that mate, just tried it and it worked perfectly on our 2008 tdci 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Your welcome
Hey, any idea if this is going to reset the BMS as well? Or do you know any procedure to reset the BMS on the focus 2009?
Hello, what is a BMS?. Not sure if it will reset but you could give it a try. Good luck.
Legend mate, just found this and it worked on my kuga 👍
Thanks mate, life saver 🙌
Your welcome
My car is currently having this problem, but to the point the car won’t start. Will this help in making it start?
I can't guarantee as I've not been in that situation. I can only say it worked for turning of the engine malfunction message. Good luck.
Nut Job weirdly enough I plugged it in to a code reader deleted the faults and it’s started again. Could that mean that the cars ok now? It’s not showing up anymore faults.
Same problem with mine . How's your vehicle right now?
I did so many times like this but temporary it is going but after 3 4 days if I didn't use car again it is coming this error
Many thanks for this. I had the oil service come up first then the engine malfunction a few days later. I have my 2008 Mondeo serviced every year by Ford, so I knew this was rubbish. This has now cleared both messages. Thanks again.
Your welcome
That’s me too right now . Thanks
Thank you for this. It saved my 2008 Focus from the scrap yard!
Your welcome my friend
@@nutjob9696 i have i same problem right now. + imobiliser active. Is it possible to do it right on video?
Are there any negative consequences to this method? Thanks!
Hi I have a similar problem with my Ford Cmax Turbo Diesel manual Will holding the throttle and the brake together work on my car?
I have a 2010 zetec s
This has just come up on mine, shall i do the same thing to this in the video? I'm due to drive to the airport tomorrow for holiday 😫
Thank you mate. This happened me car was fine just serviced by by very good mechanic. I guessed it was a resetting thing.
Any idea what to do with one that has manual gear ? ;-))
Well this couldn't have come at a better time. Our Ford Focus has started doing this. Tonight it came up Engine Malfunction and then Transmission problem. The first time it said Engine Malfunction then switched engine off and on again then it came up with Transmission Fault. Not sure if this will work.
Hi, I my car started doing same. Pls Can u tell me if u have sorted the problem
@@mubeenkaduji2121 The problem disappeared by itself. My Dad had been cleaning the car and we think water must have got in somewhere and messed with the computer/electrics. When it's dried out the problems stopped and haven't reocurred.
@@lornaedgar6861 oh great. Let me try same then. thank you for ur reply
Bratku, srdečná vďaka.Na mojom Forde sa to stávalo častejšie. Prajem všetko dobré. 😉
just done on keyless manual. turn Ignition on done break and throttle for 30sec did not clear but when I turned car on was cleared thank you 🙏 👍
How do I do this for a manual 2009 focus?
I had that pop up.a couple of times today i'll be trying it tomorrow hope it helps thanks for the video
Mine came on after using the ac......?? Help
Will this work on a ford focus 2012?
What if it is a manual. Because i got the same problem
Hi, thanks you very much for the video, just got the same error and now is gone, want to know if you get it again? Or it was gone forever? Thanks
Thanks I just sorted my mates mondeo with your help 😊😜
My engine warning comes on whilst DRIVING tho? And it la driving fine?? It comes up. And speed limited mode follows it. All whilst driving .
Ever since I drove through a bloody puddle!?? I don’t get it???
That happened to me too. It's probably because some water splashed up from underneath. I had also let mine stand still for a couple months on winter. I changed the plugs, used one of those alcohol mixes that you put in the gas tank, drove it good deal for longer drives more often. It fixed it.
And also an oil change. But "engine malfunction" or "transmission malfunction" came up and sometimes accompanied with "acceleration reduced" which though it was always fine with turning on and of the ignition. Now i'm suspecting it might rather an electrical problem, or that the shop did not change more than on of the plugs
1:32 lol at the white tape, I had to do the same thing :D
this is basically how to scam customers when selling a used car
yes but does it happen again after you have parked car then try to start it again,thats what mine does,like i said the car runs fine,there is another way that i can start car and that is turn the ignition on and off three times with a second in between,that works for me
Well done. This did the job and saved me a trip to the garage to get it fixed. 👍
Legend. Worked like a charm. After many weeks of errors and attempts to reset all. This worked well. thanks so much!
It's work😄 my car mk4 2010
How do you fix it on a manual ford focus 09 reg ? It has transmission malfunction and engine malfunction ?
I believe others have used the brake and accerator pedals and ignored the clutch. Hope that helps
@@nutjob9696 can you explain the process please? Press them at the same time or how
@@anythinggoes2897 same process as in the video you just don't touch the clutch. Well that's what I believe they're done.
@@nutjob9696 alright ok, thanks

For some reason nothing happens when i do that...
Any ideas why?
