It's a 2003 Focus. The lights didn't all come on, only the Check Engine Light came on. Other than that the car seemed fine. Which is why I assumed a faulty sensor. I took the car to Planet Ford in Brampton. They've done work in the past on my other vehicles and this one, the workmanship was always good. They're telling me it needs a new PCM. I can only go on what they say because I don't have the expertise to test it myself or I would. I've read on other forums like Focaljet and Focus Fanatics that an electrical short or problem component can cause a PCM failure but really shouldn't. I have no idea if that's the truth but, from what I'm told, mine is kaput.

Hey ZTWsquared, what company in Mississauga does this. I may be in need of their services. Yeah, the dealer ship wasn't offering any alternatives that would be cost effective. They tend to be like that. I don't know if that's a mandate from Ford or just some dealership policy. In the end I told them to cancel the new PCM and I would source my own. Thanks.
