Did this, and it worked like a charm, 2013 Ford Taurus
Dude goes so fast it's hard for fallow what he is saying
Play it at half speed
Dude, you saved my Ass. 2007 Mercury montego Premier. I was 30 miles out at a job interview, stopped for gas on the way home, and started the car. TCM is dead, and it's stuck in low gear. Then I found your video. The check engine light is still on, but it's shifting right for now. THANKS AGAIN for the video.
DAMN SLOW DOWN
I just know Ford is a joke, I wish my mother never bought this godforsaken vehicle 😡
If u have automatic it's a simple process. Put the button on start on but don't start engine and then go into N for Neutral and then into P for Park. It should reset your Ford TCM and you can use it until it packs up again
His description doesn't make any sense. How can anyone follow??? 5. Crank engine but don't start. 6. Wait 20 seconds. 7. Turn car off. WTF??? When was I instructed to turn it on??? Totally hopeless. Who makes those positive comments??? Himself??? ha ha.
I have a 2013 Ford fusion SE does anyone know if it's worked for y'all if you have that model
Did you ever try or get an answer for this? Same year, make, and model here.
Didn't work for me
Doesn’t work on many models. Waisted my time with these type of videos on my 2020 f150. Eventually had a shop reset with computer. You will know when it’s fixed.
I've done this three times, and am thankful for using this reset process. I will be getting the TCM replaced per the latest letter from Ford. Thanks for posting this.
Has the dealership agreed to replace your TCM?
What year make and model is the car u did this one ?
I tried getting the TCM replaced on my 2015 focus. The dealer said it didn't need it . But it needs a clutch replacement for $3,500.
It has been reported that there is a shortage of TCMs.
Can you talk a little faster !! Um people would like to play the video WHILE they are in the vehicle attempting to do this in real time!! Had to start and stop the video.. So unprofessional.. Didn't work.
next time you run into this issue you can adjust the playback speed to be slower or faster. just click on the settings button (looks like a gear) on the video.
@@spamcam5084 thanks so much for the info.. I forgot about that! :)
Yes this works was Going to call tow truck was able to get home
I have done this 20 times and it does not do anything
I'm having TCM problems and have to wait to get it replaced. But, when it acts up & goes into limp mode with check engine light on, I do this. Afterwards, I have to start up and shut down the car a few times before check engine light goes off and I can drive normally again until tcm glitches again. This has saved me several times.
I did this twice and nothing happened, I have a 2015 Focus SE
I did this also but no luck.
Damn i actually came here for my 2014 ford focus se. It was sitting in snow for 2 months. I go to drive it one day and its completely dead. If you connect cables to it the computer turns on but the engine will not turn over. Soon you disconnect the cables everything completely dies again
@@bocean07 don’t worry just go to a local certified Ford dealer the TCM is under warranty across for every Focus vehicle, Google customer satisfaction program Ford input your VIN# and print the TCM warranty information and head to the dealer, my car got fixed in two weeks with factory parts and I was provided with a vehicle loaner, just be kind and polite with the guys at the service center everything is a slow process at the beginning but it works at the end, remember is the TCM customer satisfaction program.
Same here, but I got a fiesta 😑
Pretty sure this is the issue with my 2015 Focus SE. have a diag tool in the way. Will try this too and let y’all know
Worked on a f250 2019
Im having an issue with my 2012 Ford focus SE when I crank the car up it runs but when I put my feet on the gas it does nothing no rev up no rpm movement , when I put it into gear I doesn’t read meaning if I change the gear from park to drive it doesn’t read it on the dash where it supposed to at the gear indicator & when I push the gas nothing happens
Thank you so much for this information ❤
Ford Focus 2012. 55,000 miles. Car always serviced by Ford. I had 7 transmission errors including “transmission overheating” and “transmission error” and transmission malfunction, service now”. All errors occurred in stop and go traffic, both city and highway, uphill in hot summer months. I turned the engine off for 10 minutes, restarted and was able to continue driving. TCM was replaced by Ford about 3 years ago. Then last week in highway stop and go very hot, I had the transmission error again 5 times. I finally left the car on the side of the road. I came back at night to get my car. Car started right away and I drove home without any problem. 5 days later I brought the car to Ford to be checked. According to Ford there were no error transmission codes. Is this legit that error codes reset themselves if the car restarts and can drive or did I get b.s. handed to me?
Took my 2010 f150 to ford to troubleshoot 4wd. They said tcm is not functioning. Also said they don't make them anymore. Now what?
Junkyard bro
@@CasperTheFriendlyGhost777did you get one from the yard that worked ???? And did you have to program it
@@dollish6889 : Yup 👍
It worked on my Ford Fiesta 2016. There was no alarm, but you can really tell that it worked..
Put it in gear and nothing happens
I have a 2007 mustang v6 manual when I give it gas the rpms go up but no acceleration
Is it work for ford escape 2008
Is it work? Will it work??
Can I do this on a ‘19 edge st?
I am IMPRESSED! I got no “alarm” at the end saying Tcm programmed however so far the shifting is SMOOTH!!
Same here. No alarm but definitely worked 🎉
Sames
2013 Escape. My project is trying to disconnect the negative battery cable in order to "reset" the transmission scheme. Will disconnecting the battery neg / ground where it is bolted to the firewall enough to clear out & "reset" the transmission scheme memory settings, or will the cable connected at the negative battery post need to be disconnected too?
Will this work on my 2010 Ford F150 ? 5.4 V8 I’m experiencing everything you mentioned.
Doesn’t work on a 2018 Everest there’s no alarm sound nothing.. so now I panic
After I did this I lost all gear engagement. What now?
Mine shut off at 70 miles per hour going down the road and it said transmission not in park
Hi, thanks for taking time to make this video, ill be trying this on my Ford Galaxy Powershift, when you mention step 7 start the car , do you mean just turn "ignition" on or turn the actual "engine" on ? Many Thanks Carl
I also have a 2013 Galaxy powershift, I have a flashing P on the dash that never goes away, (doesn't show gear selection) do you have the same issue? All the gears seem to work fine however.
2010 mercury mariner..didn't work
Step one should fully start the engine?? Or just on?
It like nothing happened on Ford Falcon. I did it twice. And the a section number 9 alarm complete there is no showing on the screen dashboard.
It’s not happening my ford focus 😢
My 2016 Mondeo had 163000.00 miles on it and the issue I have from around 45000 miles is that it goes into a sort of safe mode where on the dash says seek owners manual , the way I get over this is to pull over as the car will not excellerate as it cannot select the next gear - I will pull over and turn the car off and wait for 20 ish seconds and then turn it back on and it resets the computer or something and then I drive off until it happens again - it may not happen again for thousands of miles or may be just 1 mile - any thoughts guys - Cheers (UK)
Don't buy a ford 😂
Not working on my Ford expedition what does that mean??
This is a fake procedure. Nonsense!
Does the work on a 2000 excursion v10 2wd
Not working for C Max 2014
Shit don’t work stop the cap
Omg it worked!!
I did that nothing happened with ford escape
great video, what about a manual transmission module reset?
This works for both
Will this work on a 2006 lincoln navigator?
Thanks for sharing still looking for issues on my 480t transmission on 2005 Cadillac Deville! ☮️USA Texas
2001 Crown Vic 4.6 didn't fix anything 😤
If it’s got more than 150k miles it’s the transmission
130k.
Very nice
In the video its stated that the engine shouldn't be started when turning on the vehicle to go through the steps, but being that my vehicle has a push button start I can't shift into the required gears wuthout starting the engine with the push button ignition...If it can be done as mentioned in this video, how exactly do I turn on my vehicle without starting the engine with the push button?
Just do not press any pedal.
stupid.. dont push the brake pedal..
Is this a joke?
Sadly it did not work for my 2014 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. I wish you had the answer
Let me try it, informative video, kudos
And I have a 2160 se focus
Yeah, this did fuck-all.
Try putting on the car but not the engine if it's a bmax Ford auto then select N and then go into P and it will come up with transmission ready message
I have a 2016 Ford focus. I’m going to try this hoping it doesn’t make it worse. Right now it’s driving, check engine since I replaced the battery, I can still the faulty shifting happening.
Same thing with my 2015 focus.
It happened after I replaced the battery and now my car won’t reverse
no check engine light since I replace the battery and still have reverse after 108 miles drive time. 2016 Ford focus has 165,000. But every once in a while when starting off it feels like the tire skip.
How did reset go?
It’s not working for me
How do you relearn the transmission
*This guy:*
This doesn't have to mean an expensive trip to the mechanic.

Am I a joke to you?
Thank You! This worked for me on my wife's 2013 Ford Fiesta. My sweet wife has been racking up and ignoring error codes for a few years now so I still have a lot of work to do, but at least the car goes into to gear again.
Great video, this resetting tutorial works for my Ford fiesta, thanks buddy
Does this work with OBD1? On a 1993 Explorer 4.0?
Any helpful tips because I’ve done everything
2016
Hey what error codes did you get?
I got P287b and P2837
@@martin_the_dreamdid you get it resolved
@adanmata8625 yea I did. I did a transmission swap
@@martin_the_dream damn All becasue the battery died or was it from something else
Does any of the supply to a 2022 MACH 1 mustang with the 1080 R 10 speed transmission? Any problems I should be aware of or lawsuits? Thank you.
my ford ecosport 2017 model suddenly lost its reverse function when my battery drained. can i use this strategy?
I tried this on my Kawasaki Ninja and it didn't work.
I reset my tcm on an Astra by touching the battery cables together. I then did the learning process. Here is a quick video of it I just did. ua-cam.com/video/1rkg6AwmdhI/v-deo.htmlsi=PGqQsmjUhtDMfUPs
