⭐VIDEO DESCRIPTION⭐
My 2012 Ford Focus was having some issues. When pressing the gas the car would stall, shutter almost feel like it was going into neutral. It was also having problems shifting through the gears. I used a OBD2 scanner to pull the codes because the engine light was on. It came up with two codes both of them pertaining to ECM/PCM. After that, I did some research and heard about clearing the ECM (Engine Control Module). Wanted to take you on the Journey of clearing the ECM to see if that would fix the issue. It actually fix the problem.

Thank you for the education.

[@JOATD]

No problem, I hope that it can help you with your problem.

[@baraleuzy]

Thanks man for posting this…I have a Ford focus se 2014 and this process fixed my transmission issue so far! I will try to drive it later again to see if it comes back or not! Will keep you posted

[@JOATD]

Thank you we'll be waiting, I'm glad my video could help you

[@baraleuzy]

@@JOATD hey mate, my problem is back while driving yesterday…I drove wrongly because I’ve gun it and since then the problem is back. I followed this process once more but the problem is still there. I’ll try again tomorrow to see how it goes

[@CeciPlur]

Omg this is my issue right now and cant afford a new car. Thank you so much for this i will definitely try.

[@JOATD]

No problem I hope this works out for you

[@farhadsarvari3379]

This worked on my car. I drove for 12 mile when I got home I turned off and on I saw there was no check engine light. Thank you for sharing this.

[@JOATD]

Good job, that will help a lot

[@dohnnaldraphyapostol5984]

Thank you! I will try this on my hard starting ford focus hatchback 2.0 2006, got a problem on PCM, every time i started it the power(RPM) drop. I need to restarted it to about 3 to 4 times.

[@arthurwatkins5975]

Thank you

[@JOATD]

No problem I'm glad my video could help you with your problem

[@codyshowalter7128]

I’m so broke I can’t pay attention but otherwise I’d donate to this channel. Your audio and video quality is phenomenal your voice isn’t annoying or difficult to understand (like the Russian dude) and instructions are clear concise

[@JOATD]

Lol, Thank you for the positive compliment, I'm glad that my video could help you. And I will keep up the good work

[@georgediaz5293]

Same issue as mine, is not a big deal even if you have to replace the forks inside the transmission,is really easy.

[@JOATD]

I'm glad that my video could help please check out the description area for the special tool that I used.

[@curtbailey5771]

Take both termals off and jumper cables to each end of terminals let sit to clear the computers and compassoters for 20 minutes put hot wire on first then ground back on to battery then turn key on dont start for 1 min. Then start it let idle till fully warmed up so the throttle sets its low and high then go driving normal driving above 35 mph for more than 25 miles . And need to replace the acuators are bad brand new when first built . Recall on them there your shifting motors .

[@shaylaita246]

any idea how to get the backup sensor to make noise when backing up?

[@shaynemccray6841]

PLEASE HELP 🙏!!!!! i dont got no lights on the dash but im still getting a p06b8 code and i been doing some research and its saying it may be the pcm but i kinda still want to get it fixed or checked just to be safe before i proceed with the replacement and repair for it

[@chrisdize5109]

Could you use jumper cables to attach if you do not have alligator clips or wire?

[@JOATD]

Yes technically you can use anything you want as long as it makes a good connection

[@chrisdize5109]

@@JOATD The Check engine light went off by just turning the key to the on position for 10 seconds. However the "i" is still on and I still get a transmission error when i turn the car on. does that go away after driving it?

[@praveenkumarsaragadam4534]

@@chrisdize5109 hey is your issue solved ? I am curious what have you done to fix the "I" error ?

[@alfredough]

You could just take them both apart and touch them together too just make sure it’s all unplugged from the batteey

[@tristanburke5571]

What if it kicks this code but it won't start after you reset

[@deeblue984]

What about the other warning lights?? Are they supposed to go out too?

[@deeblue984]

This didn't work for my 13 ford flex

[@awwali.85]

that does not damage the ECU? positive or negative terminal that you used?

[@JOATD]

No, just resets it

[@curtbailey5771]

The computers will do its relearning on its own

[@georgediaz5293]

Ford focus, really easy to fix, if you know how to do the job, and very economic is like fixing a toy

[@whocares264]

So just connect the dsconnected positive lead to earth....

[@JOATD]

Correct that's all you have to do

[@dagsteinarwathne1181]

Hi! Does the car still works ok after 4 months?

[@JOATD]

Yes it works perfectly fine haven't had a problem yet

[@JOATD]

@@bojanmahic2858 yes it is still running perfectly fine

[@hecky6933]

what do you mean by you turned off the check engine light?

[@JOATD]

I used a OBD2 tool that resets the engine light. And the engine light never turned back on.

[@JOATD]

This is the tool that I used to reset the light. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rGaVg2imo7mIipY

[@jennifervaldez7139]

Would u suggest fixing the actuator under the car before trying this. Right now my car wont go in reverse and im hopin its something this simple. Mine was revving up but no power then when i got ot home it wouldn't go in reverse plz help i camt afford a new transmission

[@JOATD]

Yes this video will not help if the car will not go in reverse. This is for more if you getting a shuttering feeling. Try this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKurd6BsnJdqgM0

[@jennifervaldez7139]

@@JOATD I have watched this video as well and my friend he changed the one under the car but he got it from a junkyard so do u think it's best to get a new one. I also think it may be the TCM but I don't know. Do u know if I change the actuators could I reset the TCM. Is that at all possible

[@JOATD]

@@jennifervaldez7139 did you try the procedure first to see if you could unstick the fork. Installing a new actuator doesn't unstick the fort.

[@jennifervaldez7139]

@@JOATD I don't know if he did it exactly like the video but he did something I'll have to show him your video. We want to try cleaning the ground wires as well. I will try everything short of buying a transmission right now. Lol. They are so expensive

[@kennyhonn2339]

@@jennifervaldez7139 your tcm is probably the main corporate. I just received my back from the shop today with a new tcm and I now have reverse and it doesn’t shift hard anymore. Ford has a customer service bulletin out about the tcm. They extended the warranty on the part to 10 years/150,000 miles. Good luck and I hope this helps

[@lethalchaos19]

How many miles did u drive? usually mine I drove at least 50 miles at least to reprogram ur ecm.

[@JOATD]

About 150 but it could have reprogrammed it earlier than that because after I reset it I never had any problems

[@davidclaudedagraca577]

Bonjour je ne parvient pas à supprimer l'anti démarrage ford focus

[@ElvinoMarqs]

does anyone know if this also works on the ford focus mk4 ?

[@JOATD]

As long as it's a Ford Focus around the same year it should work.

[@bythesea2784]

Does your temperature always shows halfway

[@JOATD]

Yes it shows halfway unless you're overheating

[@madridperrantes4522]

I have a code P0902 clutch actuator circuit low and I replace both actuators but it still shifting problems and jerks and still read code P0902

[@johnsimon7867]

I have the same issue

[@jasonsawyer8048]

Most likely a TCM issue, pretty common!

[@veronicaj2990]

Will it pass smog ?

[@JOATD]

Yes as long as you turn the engine light off

[@courtneygeorge7702]

Will this get the charging system light off

[@JOATD]

Are you referring to the battery warning light

[@JOATD]

If so then no this does not turn off the battery warning light code. This will not turn off the engine light either you will have to use a scan tool to turn off the engine light.

[@davejoson1100]

It has non volatile memory, the only way to reset the adaptive learning memory Is with a programmer.

[@JOATD]

Okay if that's true explain to me why my engine light has not came back on. There's always two ways to fix something you don't always have to use a programmer. But I do understand it would be the right way to do it

[@rickwalk2780]

Try a different remedy and that one worked for a few miles just gonna try yours and see if not just going to wait 3 to4 months for ford

[@JOATD]

Do you mind sharing the remedy that you tried.

[@JOATD]

I hope that my video can help you if you decide to try.

[@gonzaloperdomo9111]

Funciona para un focus 2006 ?

[@JOATD]

2013

[@EveFrag]

@@JOATD so he ask if this works on a 06 focous and I'm hopeing u understood that if this was a a 06 im only askn cuz I was wonder that 2 but my bad if u know what he said sir thx

[@JOATD]

@EveFrag oh okay, no this only works on a 2012-2018 Ford Focus

[@smislye]

And what about radio code, I don't have it and I am afraid to unplug the battery.

[@JOATD]

It depends on the year of your Ford Focus if you have the same one I do you won't have that problem. If you have an older year Focus the password for your Focus Radio should be in the dashboard with the manual it should look like a little credit card that sets for it on it

[@JOATD]

Sorry looks like a little credit card that says Ford on it

[@smislye]

@@JOATD Thank you for answer, it is 2015 and there is no any card. May be I lost it or did not get it.

[@anthonymiliaresis627]

Man just got a 2012 I think the company we got it from cleared the code po805 came up on my reader it shudders when shifting and I don’t know what to do !!?

[@randykirkpatrick3593]

The shutter is due to ford trying something that has never been tested on vehicles the feista and focus from 2009/current are all double clutch meaning the tcm has two clutch’s reset all the program codes and fix the problem when it comes up

[@anthonymiliaresis627]

@@randykirkpatrick3593 I got in it today and the check engine light was off and it started shifting fine today I contacted ford and they said they will get back to me about a buy back or a extended warranty but it’s a 2012 with a 100,000 miles do you think they will take care of it ?

[@randykirkpatrick3593]

Most fix is a simple tcm reprogramming

[@anthonymiliaresis627]

@@randykirkpatrick3593 hey thank you man I liked your video too it was very helpful . How many miles you Got on yours is it a good car you think ?

[@randykirkpatrick3593]

[@charotbensrol3440]

check engine light still on

[@JOATD]

Are you talking about your check engine light or mine. Later on in the video I turn the check engine light off and it has not turned back on yet.

[@AdewaleOladipupo]

I’m just curious. You said you turned your check engine light off. I thought it should go off after the reset by itself. If you turned it off, how did you do it

[@bythesea2784]

Why didn't you cleared the code out then you know and what did you say you were supposed to drive for just a normal drive it didn't look like if it was a normal drive

[@JOATD]

Lol, it was a normal Drive I just sped the video up so it wouldn't be so long. And at the end of the video I cleared the code out.

[@MrAvant123]

Why not just do this with a jump cable ?

[@JOATD]

You can use whatever wire you like I just chose to use that because it was easier to handle or work with.

[@curtislathrop]

The ratchet tho

[@JOATD]

I don't think you can buy the wrenches anymore. I will try to find.

[@JOATD]

Okay I found them all you have to do is go in the descriptions I put the links in there.

[@EZ-rh8el]

Yeah it’s a ford transmission the car needs a new one & your wire thing didn’t do anything, the CEL was still on, you need a good scanner to reset that ECU. Waste of time bruh

[@JOATD]

I'm sorry that this trick did not work for you but it did work for me and all I had to do was turn off the engine light afterwards and it never came back on and I never had the issue again.

[@JOATD]

Sometimes you get a similar issue but not the same thing is causing the problem.
