Operation: How to reset the Ford Focus ECU

In today's video tutorial we will see how to reset the Ford Focus engine control unit, following the instructions below. First of all, we open the bonnet of our car by pulling the lever from the inside; then use a 10 mm star or socket wrench to unscrew the nuts of the battery terminals (positive and negative pole), in order to disconnect it, as illustrated in the video. At this point we keep our battery disconnected for a couple of minutes, in order to reset the control unit; then we make the connection and finally start the engine!

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
