15 December 2017. Graham Smith. There’s every chance that it is the dreaded PowerShift transmission problem. Ford generally takes responsibility for the problem, so it would be in your best interest to contact Ford and register your problem with its customer assistance people (13 3673), particularly if your warranty is about to expire next month. I love the manual NA. If you do buy it though do all of the fluid flushes. Trans, oil, coolant, brake, etc. Check your brake pads, tire tread depth, suspension, motor mounts (the one on the front of the motor/visible one under the coolant overflow on the passenger side is notorious to go), valve cover gaskets, and change the sparks. The warning message could very well be the confused computer in the trans being a car of only 40km. But in saying that ford fiesta, focus, Mondeos and euro ford budget cars alike have notoriously bad transmissions that go off like grenades as little as 120,000kms. Once the warranty runs out I'd consider getting a Japanese car. Also if you want your transmission oil to run cooler while towing, I recommend downshifting to a higher RPM around 3000-3500. I used to do this in my F350 Superduty with engine and trans temp gauges and when the engine runs faster and hotter, the transmission runs cooler. However at some point it may all get too hot. When a "Shift System Fault" message and check engine light illuminate, such powertrain control module (PCM) has identified a transmission system fault. When this light illuminates, a defect code is recorded in the PCM's memory. This code indicates why the light is illuminated and what may be required to resolve the issue. In this comprehensive video, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process of resetting the Transmission Control Module (TCM) in your Ford vehicle. The TCM is a crucial component of your bMWv. The dual-clutch transmission, dubbed 'Powershift' by Ford, was not a conventional automatic; it was a blend of manual gearbox efficiency and the convenience of automatic shifting. New engines, and a regular automatic transmission were the big news with the LZ Focus in 2015. First you need to get a new battery. I guessing that the transmission isn't getting enough power from the dead battery at some point and sends a fault. I also guessing the transmission has a limp home mode, which will cause the bad shifting. Unlikely that the battery and transmission would fail at the same time. But it is a Fiesta. The next day i started the car and had no warning lights, i turned it off and on again and they came back! they said - "Transmission Malfunction" "Engine Malfunction" and "Power steering Malfunction" all with the "!" in a triangle icon. About an hour later i went to drive the car to see a family member and it wouldn't start! They did a full inspection and everything came up fine except needing the brake fluid to be filled and battery replacement. Fast forward to today and I notice it’s hard to accelerate, 5 minutes later my transmission light comes on and the message “Transmission fault service now” comes on In red. Keep in mind before this I’ve never had This is a pretty simple fix and should only cost about $50-$100. If there's a poor connection at the battery cables, this might be another cause of your Transmission Problems After Changing the Battery. Clean the connections or replace any corroded cables with new ones to prevent further problems.
