DIY instrument panel repair ford focus 2

In detail: do-it-yourself ford focus 2 instrument panel repair from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.

Now let's go through the step-by-step instructions
On one of the usual weekdays in the morning as an alarm, and a little later I started the engine and also all the temperature in the working area, it’s warm in the cabin, I drove off.

Driving home; began to show that the engine was malfunctioning, drove to the nearest electrician by car, and he checked the onboard stand at the stand and came to the conclusion that it was necessary to change the instrument panel, or to repair it.

The second is the monitor contacts. When assembling the case and the board, the monitor contacts (which are on the case) must exactly fit into the sockets on the board. In my case, they bent, the monitors did not work, the car did not start.

I had to remove the monitors from the case, insert the case, and only then insert the monitors by directing their contacts into the sockets.
Further, the soldering itself. After disassembling with a magnifying glass, you can see cracks in the factory.

However, after a couple of days I was healthy again, and now I tried to check how the acceleration was reduced if the engine was running smoothly without any glitches or extraneous sounds - and indeed the car does not run at all.

Now I realized that somewhere it closes, then it is necessary to solve something with it, so it will not work. I started looking for similar problems on the profile forum. It turned out that this disease is present in many Owners.

The fact is that the factory seems to have simply regretted the amount of solder when assembling the dashboard board. there is a lot of information that such a problem is not difficult to eliminate, so I decided.

I had a chance to disassemble the tidy not yet what was available. What is needed, if not, here she was leading us into a delusion according to the information given out on the cause of the engine malfunction

First; what to turn your attention to! When the panel shows the overclocking is reduced

Dashboard Ford! Shows not serviceability, repair is required, but first you need to find the reason,

Got out U0140, U1900, U1900. Erased. being checked through a scanner

To such a seemingly simple and ordinary operation as the repair of a Ford Focus 2 (ll) (II) instrument cluster, the famous expression “as you call a ship, it will float” is just right. Here and here, as in all tricks, it is full of secrets and conjectures, and as practice has shown, a separate topic of conversation is required to dispel them.

First, diagnostics: if your car gave the following errors during computer diagnostics, then there is a reason to think about repairing the dashboard. The following will be a list of OBDII error codes (DTCs) most often seen with a faulty dashboard Ford Focus 2 (Ford focus2) (ll) (II)

  • P0607 - Control Module Performance
  • U0155 - Lack of CAN message from the Instrument Cluster.
  • U0001 High Speed ​​CAN Communication Bus
  • U0140 Lost Communication With Body Control Module
  • U1900 - CAN COMMUNICATION BUS FAULT ABS
  • U1900 - CAN communication bus Fault instrument cluster
  • U2021 - Communication Bus Error
  • P1260 - Theft Detected - Vehicle Immobilized Indicates that the passive anti-theft system (PATS) has determined a theft condition existed and the engine is disabled. (Attempted theft. Start blocked.)
  • P1585 Throttle Control Unit Malfunction
  • P2101-Throttle Actuator Control Motor Circuit Range / Performance
  • P2107 - Throttle Actuator Control Module Processor
  • P2110 - Throttle Actuator Control System - Forced Limited RPM

The remaining 30% are already serious and accurate measurements and work. One of these is the soldering of the central processor (the photo below shows the master checking his work by soldering the central processor of the Ford Focus 2 (ll) (II) dashboard by scanning the instrument cluster.

It is advisable to trust such a procedure to a professional. Firstly, it is desirable to have the equipment of a professional level, but an amateur cannot afford it. And second, a certain technical process is required to reliably eliminate the malfunction.Well, experience in elimination is never superfluous, but where does an amateur get it from? But if you want to take a chance ... Another feature of such a smart dashboard Ford Focus 2 (ll) (II) is the role of the gateway-CAN, the dashboard of Ford Focus 2 (ll) (II) receives signals from two CAN low lines at once "And" CAN hi "and also receives in analog form, and transmits in digital form information from the accelerator pedal" gas ", it" CAN-bus "on the instrument cluster Ford Focus 2 (II) (II) also requires and even though the restoration of" CAN- tires »of the Ford Focus 2 (ll) (II) dashboard is not such a tricky job, but it is impossible to check its performance without proper equipment.

The video below shows the technical process where the wizard checks the accuracy of the arrows and, if necessary, calibrates the arrows. The procedure is necessary for the complete disassembly and assembly of the instrument cluster Ford Focus 2 (ll) (II). The video shows the calibration of the arrows of the restyled dashboard Ford Focus 2 (ll) (II). Regardless of which dashboard you have, it is very important to set the instrument arrows correctly. The most important sensor, especially for those who like to drive on an empty tank, is the fuel gauge. Often, such car owners leave 0.5 liters of fuel in the tank, but imagine if your arrow is deceiving you: once, and did not reach the gas station! Less important, but also sometimes affordable - the speedometer. Especially analogous: if the arrow is wrong, he is lying in progression. This, of course, does not threaten the Ford focus2 dashboard, but nevertheless, if it can lie up to 5 km, and with a camera on the road, it can be fine. Our workshop has already been contacted specifically for the correct calibration of the sensor after a poor-quality repair on the knees in roadside services.
