Good morning.
I just drove a long distance and my car exceeded the 100,000km mark. At about 100,200km, the engine light came on.
I didn't notice any problems, neither with performance nor any noise.
Since I've often heard that the MKL comes on after 100,000 km, I wanted to ask what that could be.
(Vehicle: Ford Focus mk2, 2009)
The MIL does not go out after a restart, no error code was displayed in the on-board computer.

Loading...Hello 🙂 The following situation: I bought a used car from a dealer four months ago. The car now has an error message. I informed the dealer, and he told me to take the car to a workshop he recommended (regarding repairs, etc.). I made it clear to the workshop in writing that anything covered…
Hello, hope someone can help me. I have a 2001 Audi A4 (B6) 1.6 petrol engine. I bought the car with 160,000 kilometers on the clock. I changed the oil straight away and had to top up at 162, then at 168, and now at 170, it showed oil again, and after I topped it…
Someone scratched my mother's car. She wants to pay for it herself. But that can't be right? What can we do? Best regards
Hello , I unpacked my Prima 5 again because it's a lot of fun to zoom around with it and attract a lot of people's attention. But the fun quickly disappeared for me because my hands were starting to hurt a lot, with blisters forming on the base of my fingers and on the palm…
Is it possible to get an exemption for this? Since the vehicle is almost exclusively used for towing cars with a trailer, i.e. as a car transporter, is it possible to obtain a permit for securing a dangerous area? If so, how much does it cost?
When I turn the ignition key on my Yamaha YZF R125 (2016) (without starting the engine), I hear a rather loud humming noise. I drove for a while, and not at a slow speed… I also checked whether there was enough oil or coolant in the reservoirs, but I can't find any problems! Can anyone…
If in Germany the stork population and at the same time the birth rate has risen, this does not mean that there is a connection between the two.
In plain text: the illumination of the MKL could have occurred just as at 79853 or 101165 Km and there are various possible causes: exhaust gas recirculation valve contaminated, air mass meter defective, engine pulls through a crack in the intake bridge or an air hose false air, camshaft or crankshaft sensor spins, lambdasonde delivers implausible values, toothed belt or control chain tension too low, conceals control chain. Control chain tensioner is too low, injection nozzle worn, oil pressure too low etc.
Yes, I can’t say if this depends on each other, just what I’ve heard since I’m a amateur 😁 has been taught a better one now.
The listed possibilities create clearness👍🏻
It doesn’t have the least to do with any brand.
The error can have all possible causes if the behavior of the vehicle has not changed noticeably, a problem could be present in the air mass meter, in a lambda probe, in the camshaft sensor, crankshaft sensor, injection nozzles and etc. Only accurate errors are displayed in the combiinstrument. There are also errors that only cause a short error, but then have to be deleted in the OBD.
In any case, to the person skilled in the art, read out, delete and wait for the error to appear again.
Thank you
Should not be pushed onto the long bench, errors in the mixture preparation quickly ruin the catalyst
Yes, go right tomorrow
let the error memory read out. how do you want to know without a reading device whether the board computer has registered one or no fault?
the MKL is a warning function, unlike the usual service displays, which can be easily deactivated depending on the km
Thanks for the hint.
At Ford there is a “hidden” menu where many functions can be checked. The computer also displays the DTC codes. Of course I don’t know how reliable this is. So next stop workshop 🙄
Read out the error memory in the workshop and test the control unit. Then you can keep looking. Ggf is the control unit hops.
Not excluded, but only low probability it lies on the control unit itself.
The MKL has nothing to do with the mileage. When the thing lights, there is definitely a fault in the engine control unit.
Read out the error memory.
