The flashing Check Engine light warns the driver of malfunctions of the engine control system. In Ford engines, as in all modern injector cars, the engine is controlled by electronics. Testing the electronic control unit will help you understand what the error is. If the scanner or other diagnostic equipment indicates a P0300 error, it is most likely that we are dealing with a malfunction in the ignition system. (більше…)
The engine needs clean air in the right quantity just as much as it needs fuel. The average ratio of oxygen to gasoline is 14.5:1. Hence, somehow this parameter needs to be controlled. That is what the mass airflow sensor does. Otherwise, we will get an engine malfunction, and code P0102 will appear on the scanner screen.

Regardless of whether the car is filled with gasoline or gas, it is not the pure fuel itself that burns in the cylinders, but the air-fuel mixture, since nothing can burn without oxidation. The oxidizer is oxygen from the air. You can not cheat physics and if the Check Engine lights up, and the scanner or diagnostic computer shows the failure code P0172, there are problems with the proportions of air and fuel in the combustion chamber.

Mysterious error codes, which are displayed on the scanners’ monitors, sometimes baffle drivers. In fact, all car electronics simply fixes malfunctions, and we are left to deal with them ourselves. Error code P0171, which is produced by engines of Nissan, Mazda, Opel or Toyota, means that the mixture in the combustion chamber is too lean. Let’s figure out how to reset the error and fix the problem right now.
Under normal conditions, any internal combustion engine, diesel or gasoline, needs to maintain a balance of oxygen and fuel. Fault code P2192 indicates that the fuel-air mixture is enriched, most likely at high rpm. (більше…)
The battery charging system on the Ford Focus II rarely fails. As a rule, the main sign of malfunction is a voltage drop at the output from the alternator or at the output from the engine control unit. All this is accompanied by a burning alarm lamp on the dashboard (with the image of the battery), and when scanning the system pops up error P1246, the failure of the input load circuit of the alternator. Let’s deal with the error on the Ford Focus 2 together.

Errors diagnosed by mobile scanners and computers in one way or another indicate a malfunction in the engine management system. And these errors are not always duplicated by the Check Engine icon. In the case of the common error u1900 check lights up very rarely and most owners of Ford Focus 2 are surprised to find this OBDII code only when scanning.

Regardless of engine size on Ford Focus 3 cars, error P0056 can occur at mileage over 100-120,000 km. Let’s find out together what the error code means, whether you can drive, how to reset it, and what to change.

KIA Sportage 3rd generation engines (2-liter G4KD petrol) do not cause much trouble for owners if they use and replace good oil and fuel in a timely manner. One of the most common problems is error P0014, which is not so easy to reset. (більше…)
The exhaust system of a modern car is a complex set of devices serving not only to divert gases and reduce noise levels, but also to control the correct operation of the engine. The task of the catalytic converter is to prevent harmful substances from entering the atmosphere. If the code P0420, which deciphers as “the efficiency of the catalytic converter system is below the threshold level” occurs, it indicates a poor capacity of the catalytic converter.

Small-displacement gasoline engines for Ford vehicles, namely the Ecoboost 1.0L and 1.5L, are equipped with turbocharging technology. These engines are known for their fuel efficiency and reliability, but issues with the turbocharger can sometimes arise. In this particular case, a Ford Focus 2017 with an Ecoboost 1.0L engine has generated error code P0299.
