FOCUS 1.6 TDCI FAP, reset low level additive

[vey81]

Hi all
I have a problem with Ford Focus 1.6tdci DPF, MY 2004,
on the dashboard light "red gear wheel with an exclamation point".
In the unit FACM dtc P1392-60 low level DPF additives. additive refilled, but the light is on constantly. I tried standard reset procedure
- turn on the ignition
- 2 open and close the fuel cap
- .....

but no changegear wheel shines constantly
Does anyone know the procedure, how to reset the values in the FACM, PCM with VCM?

Thanks for your help

Its within the service functions menu

[vey81]

I tried this, but it is only available service functions for PCM, but not for FACM. Is it normal reset only PCM data, or is also available service functions in the FACM? I have IDS V72 cal.69

[vey81]

Advise me someone from FORD wizz, step by step how to reset system additives by the IDS?
MIL light is shining so fuel flap procedure does not apply :-(

Thanks M8s

[vey81]

nobody knows? ...

in PCM dtc P2585-61
in FACM dtc P1932-60

[vey81]

Guys,
I still did not solve it, save me!
as for example a procedure in ETIS is available?

Thanks

Hi

Try this procedure and see if it helps........................


Ensure filler flap is closed, and ignition is in position 0
You have 60 seconds to complete stage 1 of the procedure, beggining when ignition is turned to position II

Stage 1

• Turn ignition to position II
• open fuel flap, close fuel flap
• open fuel flap, close fuel flap
• Turn ignition to position 0
• Turn ignition to position II

Stage 2 must be started within 60 seconds of igition being turned to position II in Stage 1

Stage 2

You have 10 seconds to complete the following

• open fuel flap, close fuel flap
• open fuel flap, close fuel flap
• open fuel flap, close fuel flap

For Stage 3, wait a minimum of 15 seconds.. but no more than 30 seconds, anything over 30 seconds and you have to start again.. the window is 15-30 seconds.

Stage 3

You have 10 seconds to complete the following

• open fuel flap, close fuel flap
• open fuel flap, close fuel flap
• open fuel flap, close fuel flap

Stage 4

• Start engine, and run at idle for minimum of 20 seconds
• After 25 seconds, MIL or PCL light should illuminate, or message displayed on instrument cluster to indicate reset has been achieved
• Turn off engine, and move ignition to position 0
• Turn ignition to position II, no message, PCL/MIL light should no longer be illuminated

If either are illuminated or message still displayed, try procedure again.

thanks Ashraf and Jonnie
but I tried this procedure at least 10 times, without success.

1. has a additive container sensor fully additive level? or is it just a value is stored in the PCM by reset the system and for this it is enough only when not min level sensoring?

2. or additive must be filled to maximum needed for the system reset?

3. So if the reset system by VCM in PCM and level additive is in max, everything must be O.K.?

4. Do you know the value resistance of additive level sensor
- in case of empty container
- in case of nonempty container

[vey81]

So guys, I changed the additive container and still the same in FACM dtc P1932-60, in PCM P2585-61.
It is not necessary in case of reaching minimum level of additive, perform procedure fill the fuel such vehicles PSA?

it seems to be thermistor, when its out of the additive it changes resistance and tells you that aditive is low, so im guessing, if the sensor is ok it only needs to be dipped in additive. measure it when its out and in additive.

this is for bosch edc15c2:
III - LOW ADDITIVE LEVEL SENSOR (1283)
A - ROLE
The sensor informs the additive ECU that the low additive level has been reached
when there is 0.3 litres remaining in the additive tank.
Depending on the information received, the additive ECU informs the fuel
injection ECU.
The injection ECU informs the BSI which requests activation of the following:
? request to flash the service LED on the control panel (*),
? request to display a message on the multifunction screen (*).
Note: 0.3 litres of additive is sufficient to fill up the tank 6 times with 80 litres
of fuel (*).
(*) depending on vehicle equipment.
B - DESCRIPTION
The sensor consists of a thermistor.
The information provided varies, depending on whether the thermistor is in the
additive or in air (minimum level reached).
C - LOCATION
The sensor is incorporated into the additive injection pump.

EDC16c3 data aquisition and processing, so as control of injectors is the same as on EDC15c2 so im guessing you can use this as reference:

For EDC15C2, this fault code represents many different descriptions as you have seen. Check the additive tank for fluid level. I have seen this fault when the tank is empty even when the additive ECU says the minimum level hasn't been reached.
Early 406 DPX42 additive level sensor voltage I measured as follows: Presumed empty tank - 891mv, plus 2 litres - 827mv. Or > 1.8 Kohms is empty.
If you have to check the fuel cap sensor, the resistance is 149 Kohms cap on, 12 ~ 15 ohms cap off.

Have you tried out put test to activate the Additive Pump to see if its working or Not................

Hi guys, so the problem is finally solved!
New FACM unit installed.

Thanks for your advice
