CMAX Engine Mount Defect

My 2003 Ford CMAX, gasoline engine, with 46592 km has a defective engine mount. I see an error stored and experience uneven idling. Could a defective cable or plug connection be the cause? Anyone seen this?

Hey! CMAX owner here too. Uneven idling and error codes? Sounds familiar! Was the error code pointing directly to the engine mount, or something more general? I had a similar issue a while back, and it turned out to be a deceptively simple fix.

Thanks! The error code seemed to specifically reference the engine mount. What was the fix in your situation? Was it a cable or connection issue, or something else?

Well, in my case, it was more than I could fix myself. I ended up taking it to a workshop. They found the engine mount itself was faulty and needed replacing. Honestly, with those symptoms and that error code, I'd recommend getting it checked out professionally before diving too deep yourself. Could save you a lot of hassle.

I appreciate your insight. I'll consult with a professional. I will schedule an appointment with a trusted mechanic to assess the engine mount. I will post the repair report here. The repair cost me 95€. Replacing the mounting bracket fixed the problem.
