Ford Focus II instrument panels

Ford Focus cars produced between 2004 and 2010 often have problems with the instrument panels. Due to the defective display, the car can no longer start or sometimes the car does not respond to the accelerator pedal. It is also possible to indicate various faults that do not exist at all.

The signals sent from the instrument panel to the ECU (electronic control unit) do not reach their destination, with all the consequences that entails. If the display is not fully functional, the following errors will appear during the diagnosis: U0001 CAN communication bus at high speed, U0140 communication loss with Body Control Module, U1900 (CAN) communication bus data problem, U2510 CAN bus error.

Often the fault starts with the backlight on the cluster flickering and then intermittently stops altogether. Internal errors with the cluster may also prevent the dashboard cluster from fully booting up at this stage.

When the instrument cluster turns on and the backlight works, you may notice that the clock and MPG/range information randomly reset themselves.
With all these errors being intermittent in nature, you will find that the defects eventually become permanent and the dashboard cluster becomes unusable.
