Ford Ka ECU Recoding

Good day, I own a 2004 Ford Ka with a gasoline engine. My scan tool is showing a fault code, and I'm receiving error messages both in the infotainment system and on the speedometer. Mileage is at 76984 km. Could this be related to incorrect vehicle coding?

Hey there! I had a similar issue with my Ka. Check engine light was on, and the control module was throwing a fit. Was a proper pain. What fault code did the scan tool pull up?

Thank you for your response. The fault code indicates a potential configuration issue with one of the vehicle's control modules. Did your issue also stem from incorrect coding?

Yep, pretty much! Turned out the ECU needed a reflash. Seriously, just take it to a decent workshop. They'll sort it quicker than messing around yourself.

Understood. I appreciate the advice. I've taken it to a local workshop; you were spot on – the car required a re-coding of the ECU. The repair cost 360€. Thanks again for your help!
