thank you for the reply. i have a 1st gen Fiesta with that transmission and as of 2014 the TCM had many issues and gone thru 11 TCM models, i dont know if 2014-2018 had any new revised TCM designs. i did find 2 very useful videos from a Ford tech on YT that date back to 2014 but changing a TCM or reflashing it can really only be done at a dealer for the most part. they didn't really provide too many repair options but it sure is surprising how many issues Ford has with the Fiesta/focus TCMs. apparently there is only 3 grounds, battery neg to frame and 2 grounds lower down near the battery. any insufficient connection with the grounds can cause a whole bunch of transmission issues on the car. even a sufficient contact might not be able to handle the amperage if something might take too many amps. the battery neg to frame is only contacting thru the threads and there likely isnt a TCM->frame ground. at this point my initial fear has passed and i just hope it gets dealt with properly without the dealership runaround. just gotta push the car to a place where the towing can reach it tomorrow morning. manually bypassing the shifter lever works like a charm to get it in neutral. i dont know how to get it done by the small access point as i gotta push down a bit and push it forward. removing the side panel of the center console makes for an easier task to bypass the lock. i still need to get to work tomorrow but i can still get there easily enough with my bicycle. the transmission does have its design issues ie possible oil seal leaking and contaminating the clutches and the warranty is 80K km and i only put on 53 K km on the car. apparently the TCM is also a problem on first gen transmissions. there is also a TSB regarding the accuracy of the oil life monitor but im not too familiar with the exact details but it might be reading 0% in some cases. there's only one stupidity that i cant understand yet. i gotta reset the oil life before i can start the motor with its current errors, its a non-crank state with the alert on. would the TCM also take into account the oil life of the motor?

Unfortunately the TRD handling package was not an option for us Canadians. Voided the warranty 2 months into ownership with header + tune. Aside from a short shifter, rest was just JDM rice and catback. Planning to get wheels and possibly brake upgrade this spring. Will be excited to take her to the track this spring/summer if the virus doesn't lock us down again! Image size reduced, original size: 1420 x 947.

Love the build dude! Done right with all genuine parts I'm planning on picking up TRD fins, sideskirts, and a facelift 86 bumper. This post has been edited by Venny503 on Dec 1 2021, 09:37 AM | ||

IDPlayers Admin Group: IDP Admin Posts: 68 Member No.: 48,490 Joined: Jul 6th 2017 Location: Upstate, NY | After my car accident last year I ended up getting a used 2013 Chrysler 200 S which came with the works in terms of packages. My previous car was a 2011 Chrysler 200 Convertible which was nice, but I rarely had time to enjoy taking the top down so it was kind of a waste sadly. Over all I have been happy with the car. I already know how to work on it since it is basically the same platform as my 2011 and it has been so much fun to drive now that I have a larger engine and the lack of the weight from the Convertible. |
