Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi 2008 - DPF Fault #

Posted by James Rushforth on November 3, 2011, 5:18 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2008
Engine Size and Code *: 1.6 Tdci
( Optional ) Scanner Used: IDS

I have this Focus with a fault code for a clogged particle filter.
Firstly when I connect with IDS it doesn't recognise the Ecu as it normally does and asks for a calibration number which I am thinking is only on the Ecu casing, which isn't ideal at all as it's tucked away under the inner wing cover.
Only seems to ask for this on these PSA engines,
anyone know a way around this?
Secondly, when I try do a static regen it fails and says no comms with module, and if I try tell it I want to do a dynamic regen it asks me for a password before I can progress any further.
I haven't a clue what the password is and am lost as to why it requires one as it ain't a security issue regenerating a DPF.

All ideas and help appreciated.

James

Have you tried a network test? The information maybe stored in another module. Have you tried manual entry. On the earlier ones it asked for the pcm part no, which a phone call to the parts might help.

Yes genuine up to date fully subscribed IDS Kevin. It's always done it on these engines. Not tried a network test Ian but it asks for the number right at the start as it is trying to ID the vehicle, before you go on to the selection screen. Never thought of asking parts department though, may be a decent idea.

Hi James,

Toyota and Merc have apparently removed a forced regen option from their dealer tools, with a special authorisation code from Germany req to do the Mercs! Has IDS been updated since you last did one hopefully that is not the case with IDS, not meaning to put a black cloud on the job!

I have updated it but I have had this issue before, and many months ago.

Do you gain access to the pcm? If you do can you check for software updates. Because that gives the calibration no i think. Then you can make a note of it for next time.

I thought of doing that but when i didn't have the calibration number I just selected one radomley from a list of around 40 numbers, Obviously only for testing purposes. i got comms with the ecu and could read codes & data etc....
But thought if I tried update function it would probably just use the number i'd selected at the start and look for an update on that.
I could pull the ecu down but it's just a crazy task to have to do just to ID the vehicle correctly. Plus I still dobn't understand the password issue on the regen side.

On the password issue do you have the ford helpline no. Its 60p a minute but they may know the password. I will post it tomorrow if needed.

For the problem of identifying the module.

If you have this problem again try this.
When you get to the screen asking for the calibration number. Do not enter a number and press the blue tick.

You will be given the option to retry,select the technicians log [middle square of the three in the bottom left corner]. Note the module part number,go back to the retry screen and select no.

A list of part numbers will be displayed. Scroll down the list and select the module part number that matches the one in the log.

Follow the instructions, ids will then identify the vehicle.

To late for that car but may help in the future.

regards ian

I think this is an issue with DPF being too blocked looking at the pressures with the one we have that is doing the same

Ian "select the technicians log [middle square of the three in the bottom left corner]. Note the module part number" The three squares that are normally in the bottom left corner aren't there when you select retry.

I may be wrong but I'm doubtful that Ian still has the car in his workshop... :-)

Hi Rob

If i am reading it correctly. Are you asking.

You don't select retry but select the technician log, get the number you require. Then go back to the question about whether you want to retry.
You then select no. Then it gives you the list to choose from.

Regards Ian.

Hi Ian
Yes but saying dont think boxes were there this is still with us being collected in the morning I'll take another look.

On a side note the Focus we had was originally in for low boost fault stored after new turbo, vac actuator, AMM had been fitted after bit of checking advised my trade cust DPF was blocked, they asked me to delete it...(we either fix the problem and regen-preffered- Tunap chemical clean or delete them)

I emailed the file off whilst I set about removing the front pipe to open up and remove the DPF brick. My tuner rang turns out it had been flashed by someone previously for a performance tune and DPF delete but they hadn't removed the DPF guts!!?

Cheers

Rob
