If you have to perform a fault memory check with a diagnostic tool, the first step is to intercept the position of the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) socket: almost all the diagnostic tools, once the make and model of the car have been selected, indicate the position in which The OBD socket is housed inside the passenger compartment; in the case of the vehicle in question, the socket is located behind a flap located at the bottom left of the driver's side dashboard, immediately next to the front hood opening lever: it will therefore be sufficient to open this flap to access the socket and connect the diagnosis interface.

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.
