2013 Fiesta SE 1.6
OBD AutoDoctor 3.4.8 software
OBDLink LX Bluetooth OBD II scan tool
Is the Fiesta supposed to report Diagnostic Engine Codes?
Soon as I started the engine this evening, the wrench light came on and the
screen displayed Engine Malfunction Service Soon. Indeed there was a
throttle malfunction. No response to throttle position in it's midrange.
I ran OBD Auto Doctor software, clicked on Trouble Codes but got message "Confirmed Diagnostic Trouble
Codes -none
I drove the car for 30 minutes and saved the Data Log which I sent to OBD AutoDoctor. I got the following response by email:
"Thanks for the log. According to the log, it's very clear that your
car doesn't report any Diagnostic Trouble Codes. Unfortunately I don't
know the reason for not reporting."
The throttle problem would either be the position sensor in the throttle body, or the throttle pedal assembly, or possibly a bad connection between the two. Should OBD II report throttle pedal problems, or only throttle body problems?
