Engine Light on, O/D flashing while driving and Transmission acting funny on my Ford Focus Wagon (Hatchback)?
I have a 2006 Ford Focus wagon (HatchBack) and it has 131,000 Kms on it. Since last few days the car is driving funny following are the issues I have noticed
1. The Engine light is on continuously
What I did: I disconnected the battery Negative terminal for 15 mins and placed it back and the problem was resolved.
2. The o/d off light comes on when I drive (It blinks in ORANGE color). I noticed this light comes on as soon as I start speeding above 50 km/hr. I also have seen the temperature for the car went high all the way from Min to almost middle of its reading. I'm not sure what is going wrong here.
3. Transmission: It is acting funny for last few days. The transmission slips a lot I think. On first gear I have put a lot gas to go to second gear. Sometimes it gives me a jerk while shifting gear. It just happens when I again stop at STOP sign and starts driving then I have to push gas paddle harder to make gear shift.
I'm not sure what is going wrong with my car. Is it transmission fluid or something bigger or just a solenoid? I will appreciate any thoughts coming from you guys.
So, you disconnected the battery because the light bothered you. The light was trying to tell you something is wrong. The O/D light comes on because O/D isn't working properly. Get a code reader and get the code or codes.
1. No, you didn't resolve the issue, you just deleted the code that was triggering the CEL.
2. Means that overdrive is not engaging.
3. Sounds like it needs a new tranny, or needs transmission fluid added As soon as possible if it is low.
- My 1995 Ford Taurus Wagon Shakes while driving? It shakes quite a bit when I reach about 30mh. If I let off the gas there's no shaking at all. While stoped the shaking is minimal. I don't know a whole lot about cars but any help is appreciated, Thanks!
- Would a Mazda 3 hatchback or Ford focus hatchback be more reliable? I'm looking into good first cars and i want to know which one of these brands and models is more reliable and better in mpg, performance, ect… Thanks
- Ford Focus 2008 1.6 Engine Lights Flashing/Blinking. Engine shakes when starting up and idle as well. Had smoke coming out yesterday? So yesterday when I was driving my ford focus 08 and stopped at a light, the exhaust started smoking. When I revved more it smoked more, but it was also smoking on idle a little. The CEL check engine lights are blinking slowly when I start up the car. What could this be? I was thinking spark plugs and/or ignition cables.
- 2008 ford focus se transmission stopped working, lost power steering, and yellow engine light went on? I checked under the hood and everything looks fine. I started it back up and it ran fine and the engine light was no longer on. Should i be worried?
