Video tutorial

This video illustrates the correct procedure to reset the Ford dual-clutch automatic gearbox (Powershift 6DCT250) that resolves the issue of the car not starting; the gear does not engage and the gearbox enters protection mode. Press the start button to turn on the dashboard.

Wait at least 3 seconds, then press and hold the brake pedal for ten seconds, and without releasing the pedal, move the gear lever from "P" to "N". Wait about 10 seconds in this position, and after this time, the message "transmission ready" will appear, indicating that the Powershift reset has been successfully completed.
