Ford Focus: Check Engine Light - DTC None

    Check Engine Light - DTC None

    Does the trouble code display sequence using the trip odometer
    necessarily display all registered fault codes?

    The "Check Engine" light is on in my 2001 SE wagon. The diagnostic
    display flashes "Dtc" / "none" and yet the amber light has been on for
    weeks now. The only trouble I have had is with the speed sensor, but it
    hasn't acted up for quite some time. I always tighten my fuel filler
    cap so I'm sure it's not that.

    Will a proper OBD II code reader be able to tell me more than the
    dashboard display? Does anyone really know what all the things mean in
    the diagnostic sequence? While it's fun to make the gauges whirl
    around, I haven't gotten much use out of that feature.

    No. It displays a limited number of codes.

    Probably yes.

    The above just plugs into the OBD port. It then reports the error code 4
    times. On the 5th read it also clears the engine light but you can
    disconnect it before then until you fix the fault indicated by the code.
    (Obviously, if you don't fix the fault the light will come on again)

    If you live in the USA it appears that some independent car service
    outlets may read the code for you for free. You can the look up the
    reason for the reported code at

    Thanks for the links. Also it's good to know there are cheaper OBD II
    code readers than the 200 $CDN ones I've seen.

    I found the instrument cluster test sequence a little different from
    the Mustang's. I typed out a dump of my codes with my best guess at
    interpreting them. If anyone can correct or fill in the blanks, please
    do.

    Seq # Disp. Description
    1 tESt Start of Sequence
    2 gAgE Gauge Test
    3 888.8 All LCD Segments
    4 bulb Bulb Test
    5 r 22 ROM Version
    6 E001 EEPROM Level

    7 dtc DTC Codes (flashes "NONE" if none logged)

    8 000.0 Speed (mph)
    9 000.0 Speed (km/h)
    10 057.o Something about the odometer?
    11 0000 Engine Speed (rpm)
    12 039.t Something about the tachometer?
    13 F183 Fuel Level (just over 3/4 full)
    14 L190 Oil Pressure (Engine off >176)
    15 0E5.F ????
    16 022C Engine Temperature (°C)
    17 04E.C ????

    I had this with my 2001 SE wagon as well. It turned out to be the
    DPFE, a $40 part from Ford.
