DTC P0500 is typical not only for Ford Focus 2 cars, but also for many Japanese cars. Theoretically, there is nothing difficult to decipher, but the search for faults may lead very deep. Formally, OBDII code P0500 is deciphered as absence of data in the engine control unit about vehicle speed, therefore it would be logical to suspect the speed sensor. But it is not that simple.
Reliable and enduring Suzuki Grand Vitara 2.0L (J20A) and 1.6L (M16A) engines have some childhood diseases, which manifest themselves mainly in extreme conditions. For example, unstable functioning of the camshaft position sensor Grand Vitara on 2-liter and 1.6-liter motors can work with interruptions. How to check the sensor, signs of malfunction, how to replace it and how best to find an inexpensive analogue, as well as all the problems with the Suzuki Grand Vitara camshaft position sensor, we find out today.
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.
DTC P0400 usually occurs on engines with mileage over 60-80 thousand km regardless of the make and model of the vehicle and regardless of the engine type - diesel or gasoline.

Let's find out how to reset the error, why the code P0400 is displayed and how to fix the problem right now.
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.
The Check Engine light came on, and it can really affect our plans and financial expenses. An inexperienced driver is confused: does this mean that the trip is canceled? Or is there a simple solution to the problem? Without an expensive trip to the service station, there is only one way to find out why the Check Engine light came on: an OBD-II scanner.
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.
