Dude, you have the longest "Mississipis" ever counted.
You are a life saver! My wife's 14 focus would not shift would not reverse and we lost all hope after ford turned us away because the warranty expired! Dis the steps as you did and the engine light shut off and it drives like it was new again! Thank you!!!
was it shifting odd .. along with the no reverse? I think i may have the same issue
Hey Corey this worked for my car too! Has you had further issues with the TCM since?
Temp fix
Wow!!! Really???? I have a '14 and first and second were slipping
That's a temporary fix for your case. You will need to get your transmission checked by a professional. Maybe the actuators jammed (very common until 2015 due to rust).
My car would go in reverse at all reset my transmission like he’s showing us and guess what the shit works appreciate you my guy !!
1. Turn on car
2. Shift car into neutral
3. Turn off the car
4. Wait 15 seconds
5. Turn transmission to park position
6. Turn on car (DO NOT START)!!!
7. Wait 15 seconds....
8. Turn off your car 2 seconds
9. Turn on your car 2 seconds
(DO NOT START)
10. Shift car into neutral to complete the TCM reset
I am about to try this will post my results if it worked in the process. Just figured some people might want see the process written down. Hope that it works for me later 🤞
work?
I can’t get it to work
Not working for me , ford grand c max
It worked man , my car was shifting so bad, I thought the TCM had to be changed I did this then took my car for a drive and it worked so thank you .
@@LuisFlores-ji7vw your very much welcome it worked for me as well
Came to this video again a couple years later for the new Focus I just bought. Once again, appreciate you!
It worked man , my car was shifting so bad, I thought the TCM had to be changed I did this then took my car for a drive and it worked so thank you .
this fix is only temporary, you still need a new tcm lol
it’ll start acting up again in a few weeks to a month
Thank you my friend. I followed your instructions. Something started ticking. Then when I turned the car off completely even with a remote control I locked the car and opened, then started. The ticking went away and I started driving
The reset sequence definitely works. I drove the car around 20 miles and it was shifting better than it was before - not great - but definitely better. I'm going to clear the check engin code, reset again and drive it about 90 miles to my friend's house since I have the 100 mile AAA towing service. Fingers crossed.
How was the 90 miles drive? Did it fix the problem?
Smart guy😜
Thank you a millions I can’t believe it my car was clicking and would not go into reverse at all or shift into gear I did this to my car drove it up and down drive way let it sit for a few came back started right up no clicking and it’s shifting perfectly I don’t know what u do but u saved me cause Ford said my warranty expired to fix it
Dose your car not driving forward and reverse
You my friend are an internet wizard. The dealership wanted $3,000 to replace the dual clutch. I replaced the clutch actuators ($140), fixed the electrical grounding, and did your magic Vudu and the car shifts like new. I have put 500 miles on it since trying your magic and it hasn't missed a gear since. Thank you.
Do you know where the grounds are?
@@saucedavictor664 one is to the right of the battery box, 2 are underneath the air filter box.
@@RemedialGore Thank You !
@T. Stew there is another trick taught to me by a Ford mechanic. It's called scrubbing the clutch. You need to find a nice strip of pavement with no traffic. Come to a stop (it works well at night getting on a highway on ramp for me) and then floor it and let the car run through all 6 gears which means you'll be at like 70MPH once you get into the last gear (6th). It's best to do it at least twice and then you'll notice the car begins to shift a million times better than before. I don't really understand why it works, he explained it to me but I didn't understand, lol. But it definitely works!
By fixed, do you mean removing the paint off of the contact points for those ground wires?
This actually works!!
Thank you so much, now my wife is relieved!!
Thank you! Worked for me... 2012 Ford Focus
Marci Sprouse is it still working
Thank you!!! 🙏 It worked! Got the “transmission reset" message and the engine light went off! 😃
ok bro, did this and drove to the store and back - seems to be running and driving just fine now after failing last night and getting the transmission fault message - fingers crossed it stays cool awhile - thanks a million!
Was yours getting hot and revving up high when you tried to barely accelerate?
@@jamiemichelledemijparazoo-3726 no not exactly, and the light came back on, issue was not fixed - ended up trading the car in and getting a different one. Apparently this is a known Ford design issue.
I have a 2014 focus titanium that wouldn’t go into reverse, this fixed it right away. Thanks for the good advice!
How you solve?
Mine goes into reveres but dosnt move the car. Will this fix it????
Try again
Exactly same issue I'm facing ill try it 2mo
@@dashtyATG mine hasn’t fixed it, I am having to sell the car as repairs cost 800 - 1800 pounds
Thankyou so much. My Ford Focus 2013 plate auto was not reverseing. This fixed it.
Edit: This is a temporary fix. The issue will come back.
Search for Ford Focus ground problems. I saw another video where the person was having the same problem, and it was related to paint on the grounding lugs.
@@briankirkpatrick8734 temp fix
Hi! I did on my ford c max 2012 and it worked! I'm so thankful 🙏 all the best.
Kind regards
Family happy
Just worked today hahah amazing
thank you, this worked and my car feels brand new
This worked on my 2015 Ford Focus SE. Thank you!
Did it stay fixed?
I have the same car, and it just started having problems with it shifting into a higher gear when accelerating. I too am curious if your car stayed fixed
Holy shit.... this worked. No shuddering. Great video man.
😍😍😍
How long did it work ?
@@josephsaj8930 this method is temporary? please reply
It worked for me, and it (so far, knock on wood, it lasts) is like driving a new car. It's totally different from what I'm used to. I've only owned it for 13K miles, and wow, what a huge difference so far.
The next thing i will be doing is changing the transmission fluid out and going from there.
What year do you have?
@@aidenthompson4998 2014
Dude WTF! You’re such a fuckin genius, it’s like brand new again!
Thank you so much! This worked on my 2014 Ford Focus after I changed out the TCM with a junkyard one. Saved me from a trip to the scumbags at the dealership.
I thought the TCM had to be reprogrammed at the dealer? How did you replace the TCM yourself?
I am so glad you got your car working and you are right Scumbags dealers Electronics have been made easy for them to swindle the public But this design is manufactured by the manufacturer What did you do and what was your prior problem with your automatic.?
You changed your TCM but did it have to be reprogrammed with a ford scan tool.
@@jasonashley9853cause this reset and clears out the previous vin in the TCM from the junkyard one
@@MixedButterflynope this resets the TCM without a tool Ford does this and acts like they use a computer
You’re literally the best. Still getting my car fixed but this is the best temporary fix I’ve found so far. Thank you so much for this!
Any updates ?
Temporary?
I'm gonna do this and drain out the transmission fluid and replace with new. I don't wanna spend $2,500 but I only have 74K miles on it and I love the car. I'm gonna see how this goes first
You are a life saver 🥰🥰
It freaking worked!! My trans was running horribly it says malfunction. What kind of voodoo is this?!! Lol. Last time i commented i had a faulty TCM that's why i put it didn't work but by God........😂😂😂
Thank you so much, that was amazing, and it did reset my transmission light and now I can reverse again, and it was not working before
That saved a lot of money and problems
Thank you so much again
Nouamane El Bakkali could you not reverse with power and also was it driving with no transmission power as in not moving
Thank you so much you're the best, saved my day
Is there a way of getting the gear shift indicator to show on this display?
For that instruction…. Is for when have transmission problems??? Mine said not in park when I put in D … I press gas feel like drag or pull hard
Works like a charm, thanks for the vid
Thank you for your video, which helped my ford focus 2015 model...
What issues were you having by chance my shutters at take off and slightly going into 3rd I don't want to do the reset and it make the car immobile
@@kingqupa4508 replace transmission oil with OEM, clear ground rust.
Use manual Shift mode when bumper to bumper.
@@kingqupa4508 same
I've tried this few times didn't work for me on focus 16
God Bless You
wow awesome video friend. thank you
I found in my 2016 Ford focus SE if I shut off the traction control the transmission works better.
and this soft reset of the transmission programming also helps.
Do it work if your car say transmission fault service now ?
Ford dealer just lied to me that I need a new clutch fork plus labour over $3800 Australia currency. In many youtube showed problem with TCM & clutch actuators (also called clutch fork). They must lie to me. I knew it. How to access traction control?
i got a 2016 ford focus wont go in reverse ? any help
@@garrieparsons2265 replace bottom clutch actuator. It's easy job.
@@quantumofsolace872 thanks buddy 👍
Thanks for the quick fix brother. Now I have the rest of the day to enjoy some beers
What code a 7555.0 mean
For ford.focus 2010means
Trade in
it worked for me, thanks
This worked dude! Thank you so much. That's crazy
It worked for me, thanks
When it says "transmission is ready". Ready for what? To start driving and relearning? Can you please explain thanks you
This will not fix your Tcm , if tcm is bad is bad. Will continue to have drive ability problems
Ready to trade in
What this 'procedure' is to reset the 'home position' of the clutch pak, temporary fix. Will probably have to do EVERY 6mo OR until you park that shiny new TOYOTA in your garage!
I just followed you instructions and my car literally doesn’t communicate with my key anymore.. Cant even lock the car!!! any idea ?
This function works but if you are trying to do the clutch relearn process it will not help.
what is the clutch relearn process
I have an easier solution. For my 2012 focus se hatchback with the power package and 4” display, all you have to do is put the key in the run position and put it into neutral. It will then display transmission ready. For my model, all that waiting is not required
It will say ready after being in the on position for awhile?
@@rayzelito like 10 seconds or so or until you start it and put it in gear. Key in on position, wait for dinging to stop, put it into neutral and the message should appear.
Just want to say this worked for my 2014 Focus that was having the same issue. The check transmission light is still on, but the car is shifting correctly now without bumpiness.
@@mikeconstanza temp fix
the run position means not to start the car, right?
Thank you Joseph
Ford focus 2013 it works, thanks!
Hi..I have a 2013 ford focus as well..I can't understand what he is saying to do?? Can you please explain what you did? Please??
@@franceshaynesdevinelife6874 Turn on the car (don't start engine, just turn on the key) shift the gear to N, then turn off the car, wait 15 seconds. Shift the gear to P, turn on the car (don't start, just turn on the key), wait 15 seconds, then turn off the key and turn on the gear again on N. The vehicle will give you a Transmission Ready message.
@@anttoha Wow..Thank you so much!! Haven't tried yet, and I just got your response..Thank you so much for responding😇👏 Yeah, took it to dealer they said it wasn't the TCM!!
Conveniently the warranty states 7 years or 100, 000 miles, I didn't qualify, so upset!😡
And then quoted 2,500.00 for new transmission!! Like I have 2, 500.00..I been praying for God to show me what to do, fix, sell, or trade-in?? Yeah but Thank you so much!! Will update!💖🙏👍
@@franceshaynesdevinelife6874 You are welcome 👍
Thank you so much it worked
Does it work also on the Ford Focus 2.0 TDCi with 116ps (05.2014 mk3)?
thank you so much 🙏
How do you do this in 2014 Mondeo that has keyless start?
I have ford focus titanium 2014 and it worked for me!! thank u
👍🏻
what problem you had ?
Push button start?
Just tried it on my sister's 2011 focus and it worked! Thanks. Great vid!!!
👍👍👍
Thank you
How would you fix a p0902 on a Ford Focus 2015 ??? Thanks 🙏
Check engine indicator always on, after reset transmission back to normal. Thank you very much....
Get a scanner and see codes and erase codes
I simply turn it on, shift to N, wait a second, and it says "Transmission Ready." Do you think it'll work the same?
Man, you need a cashapp cause you just saved me a mint
Did you need to reset the TCM because it was replaced? Or was it losing gears and not going into reverse? If that's the case, it will just have the same issues again.
What does the transmission reset does? I don't know what this means. Does this fixes the transmission?
My ford powershift has a noise in the second, fourth and sixth gear...this reset works for that?
Hi, does this reset help? The car drives more smoothly?Will it do damage to the clutch?
Do you have reset TCM Ford Scape 2013- 2015
Awesome hope this works.....do you have to start driving right away and how long do you drive for it to learn
10-15 mins but it doesn’t work everytime
hi i just wanted to know if I have a push start button how do I do it that way?
I need to know this too. If you found out please reply
@@nikkimichelle2451 just press start wihtout pushing on the brakes
My check engine light came on and then my transmission jerked all the way home. I turned the car off when I got home and when I went to restart the car, it took four times to start. Then reverse wouldn't even work. I had the clutch fixed four months ago. Any suggestions? I tried what you said to do and it didn't help. I'm clueless.
I think you have transmission issue . Better go to garage
Clutch is on its way out. Go to the dealership, if you’re under 150k, they’ll put a new TCM in free of charge.
Lydia Nevins if you aren’t under warranty, you’re probably looking at around $1100 for parts and labor.
I grabbed one out of a junkyard car and put it in myself, it wasn’t too difficult. I haven’t had it programmed by Ford, but I did do the battery jumper pcm reset, and its been running great. I just drove 1600 miles without an issue.
@@RKCorinth trade it in
Would work a Ford Escape made in Spain , I know it comes with the SelectShift
Will this fix the P07a3 code for the ford focus 2014?
Will it work on 2014 Ford Escape my shifter in drive but in park
How often should we do it with our Ford Focus 2014?
Will this work on 2013 Volvo with powershift gear?
If this works, let me know how to donate to the channel, you deserve a free meal or a few. And deserve to work for ford in a high executive position.
Did it work for you?
No
What causes this problem where you have to do this in the first place?
The cars transmission is just bad
I have a Ford Focus 2014 any help!? It say the transmission it’s overheating. I already checked the level and it’s good . And the oil it’s not dirty.
It is fixed ?
Hey, i just got a new Fiesta. What does a transmission reset do? Will it relearn my driving habits?
No
How do you reset Tim when it’s been replaced no special tools ????
Are you all ok he didn’t finish the video is there a second part of this video
Thank you!!
Will this work for TCM on Ford fiesta 2011?

It worked with my focus 2014,felt better than before
What was your car doing? My started shifting extremely hard and sporadic today
@@CodyHinson-pm6hu but dint work for that long as overall focus are shit models
Hi Joseph. This is a fix for what type of problem? I have a 2013 Focus.
Does this also work on the mps6 volvo?
My car shakes when I start driving. Do you think this can solve that problem? 2012 Ford Focus Sel
yes i think you can clear the jerking
Try pushing the gas a little harder on the start. This car doesn't like to be driven easy...it likes it rough.
Ur clutch need to be clean or changed Mines was the same and yust bought one and works no shakes or nothing
@@dacingduck603 Yes bro. The clutch is the problem!
You have typed in the comments this is for 2012 to 2014 but the ford focus uses the same transmission from 2012 to 2016 (as far as I know) I want to try this on my 2016 unless you have insight that I am not aware of.
I just did it on my 2015 and it worked
@@juliamallik9316 glad to hear, thank you for the input if the issue becomes noticeable for an extended period of time I will definitely give this a try
do the 2016's have transmission problems. I thought they changed the gearbox for that year?
Yes bro 2016 model they have changed something in gear box
2016 and above models are fine
@@josephsaj8930 2016 focus se SUCKS! My car will go up to like three or four RPMs but it will drop down to very low RPMs like one or one and a half when I'm going down a hill. I tried resetting the PCM and that was not the problem. Will resetting the TCM work on a 2016?!
I have a 2013 focus se 2.0l won’t start after i drive it. I checked battery was good, put new starter, new relays on starter and Ignition relay and new negative battery cable. I also used the other key. Also it seems when it warms up and gets driven it don’t start. But when it cools it seems to start again. I’m stumped! Any pointers??
Thanks in advance
Great video!!!
Could this be my problem? With starting
Did u ever try it?
@@JavierLopez-zd3gl yes I tried it didn’t work for me. Found out it was a common defect and Ford knew about the crap transmission design. They have a voluntary recall if the car is under 150,000 miles for the transmission control module. I ended up getting one from a junk yard and putting it in. It wasn’t hard at all. The one I pulled wasn’t tuned with my car and had to go on a computer. I drove it to a dealer and got out of it. Was a good car on MPG wish I had it still because I got a truck. But the worse part is the Ford engineers knew it was a junk design and still released it 2012-2016 I believe is the years it for focus and fiesta I believe. I think it over heats and over time the TCM stops working
Good luck if you can I would advise get rid of it. The worse part of mine is I just got brand new tires, breaks and rotors, rear shocks and new sway bar bushings put on close to $2k in work on it and a month later had those issues started and sank anoth $400 till I figured out the issue. I Got a good trade in deal only took a $500 hit on it. But now paying out the arse for Ga$ because of This clown show called The Biden Administration. Good Luck if your having issues
What does it mean when my 2014 Ford Focus says transmission default service now
You should scan tcm and check for the error code
it work on ford escape 2014 ??
The reserves isn't working will this fix that problem
Mine has to be something more detailed. Didn’t work for my car. Didn’t get the transmission ready signal.
I have Focus 2014 and it have some jerking issues so will this procedure fix that?
Yes of course it will fix the issue
I have tried in my Ford focus Se and i can't move the stick ans now i have to recharge my batteries
How about push button?how to reset?
This is what im trying to find out. Mine is keyless and has the push button start
How often you should do this ?
Anybody knows why and for what reason it needs to re set the auto transmission??
