Video tutorial

In this video, you can see how to reset the transmission on a Ford car with an automatic gearbox, a common issue with this brand. First, turn on the ignition, put the gearbox in neutral, then turn off the ignition and wait for fifteen to twenty seconds.

Next, put the gearbox in 'park', wait another fifteen to twenty seconds, then turn on the instrument panel again and wait another twenty seconds. Turn off the car and engage the 'drive' gear, then turn the ignition back on; the vehicle will now emit a sound to indicate that the procedure is complete.
