Default Ford Focus "Engine fault" and "Transmission fault"

Just attempted to fire up the Focus hatchback, manual with a zetec
engine. It wont start presumably because the transmission and engine
warning message is displayed.


It was fine when parked up around three weeks ago. The battery is
fine, the lights and other electrics work but there is no attempt to
turn the engine over.


Have you checked the battery volts under a decent load - like say
headlights on?

I dissed the battery and the fault is still there.


Anyone had this?


I had trouble with electrics on my Fiat, I got the impression that the
only solution was a main dealer. Is this the case with the Ford, or
can independents sort problems efficiently now?


Did this warning message only appear after the car was parked up?
