Ford Focus and C-Max not starting due to engine ECU fault.
Common non-starting problem for Ford Focus (Mk III) and Ford C-Max (Mk II) vehicle ranges fitted with this Delphi engine ECU.
Intermittent cutting out and failure to restart symptoms can be a sure sign that this engine ECU is developing an internal malfunction, over time this will lead to a permanent no start problem for the Ford Focus and C-Max range.
Having the engine management light illuminated or ‘Engine Malfunction’ message on dash may lead you to have the vehicle scanned diagnostically. A myriad of fault codes may be found for sensor reference voltages, power relay and processor faults. Often when the fault worsens into a permanent no-start issue you will find that communications to the engine management system is not possible.
You may have been told that you now need an expensive new replacement engine ECU, however this will also require coding to the vehicle at an extra expense.
We have a more cost-effective solution to end Ford Focus and C-Max not starting problems – a comprehensive test and rebuild service of your original ECU without the need for re-coding, for a fraction of the cost of buying new.
Our in-house R&D team have identified that these Delphi DCM3.5 engine ECUs all suffer from manufacturing defects and have developed a solution to get you back on the road as quickly as possible with a turnaround of 2-3 working days, complete with an unlimited mile Lifetime Warranty for your piece of mind.
