Hi all, having seen Glassman's thread about Ford's LCD display ( this one) I decided to give it a go. Had fun with all the various readouts (especially the speed one) but I also got a DTC fault code number 9202. I checked and could only find it was meant to mean "Fuel Sender Open Circuit". What does this mean?

Thanks in advance, Spoon

Whilst I can't answer your question fully, 'open circuit' generally means the circuit might be broken, hence open. So current flow within a device is limited.

Hope that is of some help!

Thanks BMZ, had a look around on the focus owners club and my car has none of the symptoms associated with that fault code (mainly a failing fuel gauge), so it's probably just there from before and it never got reset when the work was done.
