Reading fault codes 2008 Focus CMax
Discussion
Hi,
I'm having a problem with the parents 2008 cmax diesel.
About 6 times now when driving along the check engine message comes up and the ESP light comes on. The car has almost no power and you've no option other than to coast to a stop at the side of the road. You then leave if off for about 10mins and then it will start fine with no warning lights and it drives as expected.
A few garages have looked at it and simply said 'well theres no problem now and there no point trying to read the code cos the lights not on'.
So the question is, will a proper Ford dealer have a more advanced 'computer' that can read the fault code after the light has gone out?
