What to do if the Ford Focus engine warning light comes on?
Years 2011-2018

Answer

If the Ford Focus engine warning light comes on, this indicates a general malfunction of the engine, and can affect both the catalytic converter and the injection system. The latter occurs if the light stays on steadily. If it blinks, on the other hand, it concerns the catalyst and then the problem is more serious. You have to slow down until it stops flashing and then go to the nearest garage, as the catalyst is overheating and can be very dangerous.
