    I am trying to find info for my 2013 Focus. Last fall, there was a recall for the transmission/clutch chatter [auto tranny but it isnt a regular torque converter]. Before they did the parts fix they tried some sort of computer "update" that only made it worse. Before the computer update, the car was getting 30 MPG and after all the work was done, it now gets 23 MPG. I am going to confront the guy at the service desk about this. But I wondered if there was a hidden menu diddle that I could do? Nearly everything goes through the computer on the Focus nowadays.

    • @mrfixpl
      @mrfixpl  Před 9 lety

      jrfoleyjr Modern cars have tens of computers. ECU, SRS, ESP, transmission, comfort functions, headlight adjustment, emission - each is using it's own computer. Hidden menu can only show you details of the instrument cluster work parameters.
      If you are experiencing increased fuel consumption, it can be caused by the new parts in your transmission and rolling resistance that will go away with time.
      But please get in touch with your Ford dealer.

    • @fungogh
      @fungogh Před 9 lety

      jrfoleyjr The sequence is fairly similar on a mk3 (2011->) Focus. With the ingition/engine OFF, hold down the "OK" button on the left side of the steering wheel. While holding it down, start the ignition (if you also start the engine, you will get more data, like engine temperature & rpm, etc..., so it does not matter). You navigate through the self-tests with the "Down" arrow on the steering wheel (still left side). You escape the test by either pushing and holding the "OK" button again for ~5 seconds or by turning the ignition off.
      Now re your issues with the gearbox... what they did for you is that they re-programmed the "computer" that takes care of the transmission (aka TCM/Transmission Control Module) with the latest shifting "maps".. which is ok.. the decreased MPG is normal and TEMPORARY, as the transmission is in the learning mode and learns how to shift (you should also be seeing engine going into higher RPMs when shifting, compared to what you have been used to... and that is one of the reason of higher gasoline consumption).

      If I remember correctly, Ford is using two coolant temperature sensors. One reports to the ECU, other one to the instrument cluster. Check if the other one and its wiring are OK, replace it if needed.

      sean oxborough you can check your speed in different units (km/h mph) when traveling between France & UK, check temperature gauge if coolant is boiling and leaking but temperature in the instrument cluster seams normal, check indicators if ABS does not work but no warning light is on.
