    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.

    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.

      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.

    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?

    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.

    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)

    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?

      @@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.
