2012-2015 Focus
This article supersedes TSB 15-0034 to add a production fix date, update the vehicle model years and Parts List.
ISSUE
Some 2012-2015 Focus vehicles may exhibit inaccurate fuel gauge indication and/or inaccurate distance to empty. The vehicle may also exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0420, P1450, P0443, P0452, P0456, P0460 and/or P2196.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
- Does the customer report inaccurate fuel gauge indication and/or inaccurate distance to empty or does the vehicle exhibit one or more of the following DTCs: P0420, P1450, P0443, P0452, P0456, P0460 and/or P2196?
- Yes – proceed to Step 2.
- No – this article does not apply. Refer to Powertrain Control / Emissions Diagnosis Manual or Workshop Manual (WSM) for normal diagnosis.
- Replace the evaporative emission canister purge valve. Refer to WSM, Section 303-13.
- Inspect the evaporative emission canister for liquid fuel contamination.
- Is liquid fuel present?
- No – proceed to Step 5.
- Yes – replace the evaporative emission canister. Use low pressure compressed air to clear fuel from vapor lines from tank to engine. Refer to WSM, Section 303-13.
- Is the bottom of the fuel tank deformed more than 25 mm (1 in) upward? (Figures 1 and 2)

- The world’s #1 fuel additive for both gasoline and diesel engines
- A great tune-up in a bottle – treats gasoline, diesel fuel and increases MPG
- Cleans and lubricates the fuel system, including fuel injectors, carburetor and combustion chamber
- Improves fuel economy by burning excess exhaust emissions
- Increases power and acceleration by improving fuel flow and reducing deposit buildup
- Save gas by keeping fuel intake system clean
- Helps restore performance
- Removes deposits from entire fuel system
- Helps inhibit corrosion
- Compatible with cap-less fuel tanks
- Cleans, restores, protects the entire fuel system (fuel injectors, carburetors, intake valves and combustion chambers)
- Restores: lost power, acceleration, lost fuel economy, and operation of the fuel gauge sensor
- Reduces: rough idle, engine surge, hesitation, and spark plug fouling
- Improves: cold start performance, and fuel stability for up to one year
- Automobiles and trucks use every 3,000 miles or at your next oil change. All other gasoline engines use as needed (motorcycles, dirt bikes, boats, ATVs, RVs, water craft, lawn care, etc.)
- Unclogs dirty fuel injectors to restore performance
- Helps restore lost power and acceleration
- Removes harmful deposits
- Compatible with cap-less gas systems
- Saves gas
- Eliminates starting problems, hesitation and stalling.Fit Type: Universal
- Smoother idling
- Better throttle response
- Cleaner combustion
- Formulated to help save gas and lower emissions by deep cleaning the entire fuel system
- Formulated to help restore peak performance and reduce friction by lubricating engine parts
- Formulated to help prevent ethanol deposits and inhibit corrosion
- Works with modern gasoline engines such as turbo, direct inject and hybrid vehicles
- Compatible with cap-less gas systems
- DESIGNED TO EXCEED EXPECTATIONS: Red Line complete SI-1 fuel system cleaner treatment for cleaning and preventing corrosion in fuel systems
- PERFORM AND PROTECT: Fuel additive cleans injectors, carburetors, valve and combustion chamber deposits with a powerful, concentrated blend of high-temp and low-temp detergents
- EFFICIENT FUEL BURN: Gas treatment that enhances gasoline stability, while reducing the build up of gum and varnish formation
- EASY TO USE: Use one bottle per tank for most effective treatment, additive cleans nearly 100% efficiency in one treatment
- One 15 Ounce Bottle
- Upgraded Universal Fuel Injector Tester and Cleaner Tool Kit---Operates injectors individually to diagnose fuel delivery problems on petrol vehicles with electronic fuel injection, such as blockage, leakage, damage, and burnout of the injectors. The included 8-size cleaning adapters combined with the tester pulse mode can quickly clean the injectors
- 【Test for 2 Injectors Simultaneously & Ultra-long Power Cord】Come with two pairs of output terminals, allowing you to test for two injectors or for one injector at once. The tester power cord is up to 40inch and the test lead is up to 20 inches for convenient testing. The wires are made of superior silica gel, allowing the tester to work at high and low temperatures. (To make it perform better, it is recommended to work at normal temperatures.)
- 【8 Size Adapters Cleaning Tool & Universal Fit】Our cleaner small and large size adapters are compatible with most 12V EFI and GDI vehicle models' injectors. We also offer two additional specialized adapters for the BMW Audi, one is suitable for models such as V.W, Audi, etc. and another one with threaded hole is exclusively for BMW N series such as N14/N18/N20/N26/N53/N54/N55/N63/S63.
- 【8 Pulse Modes & LCD Display】The fuel injector tester kit is designed with 8 pulse modes, which are composed of 4 pulse signal output modes and 2 output voltage levels: Short/ Medium/ Long/ Continuous pulse modes + High/Low(12V/5V) power drive modes. This tester has a wide variety of pulse modes, providing a large testing space to accurately and quickly diagnose and repair petrol vehicle injectors' fuel delivery problems. The LCD displays the mode you are in.
- 【Polarity Reverse Connection Protection & Short Circuit Protection】Deigned with power input reverse connection protection and output short circuit protection function. In the case damaged or a short circuit of the pulse output terminal, the power indicator light of the fuel injector cleaner tool kit will flash to prompt you.
