    Crapon readers are rubbish, can you get some proper diagnostics?

    Based on a fault on a Fiesta this week, no codes, wouldn't run above tickover, and left turn lights came on when running, take the front bulb out and it ran even worse, turned out to be a bad earth on the back pillar that serves (in theory) the back lights!

    Loose earth bolt, tightened it, and the thing ran perfectly. Can't begin to work out how a bad earth at the back of the vehicle could affect the Engine management system, but it was.

    Chatting among the group, seems that Ford earthing is a regular issue, but we've never seen one quite this obscure before.

    So, I's suggest before doing anything else, check the earth connections on the chassis, and related places, it seems that good earth on the engine block may not provide enough to avoid problems with engine systems.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    Sounds like a fault in the ABS motor or module or its associated wiring loom, based on the scan you got. You need a competent auto electricain to further diagnose this issue. Whereabouts are you based?
