The system check message in your Ford Focus serves as a reminder to have a mechanic or dealership check the ECU and install any available updates. If you've already done this and the light remains on, you can easily reset it yourself. Start by turning on the vehicle without starting the engine. Then, simultaneously press down on the gas and brake pedals all the way for about 20 seconds. Once the pedals have been held down long enough, the dashboard light will flash and then turn off, indicating that the system has been successfully reset.

I tried the method of holding down the gas and brake for 20 seconds while in the accessory position to reset the oil warning on my car. The LCD display confirmed that the reset was successful, but now it only shows the System Check information screen. I'm having trouble getting back to the screen that displays things like MPG and the trip counter using the "OK" or arrow buttons. How can I exit the System Check screen?

Is there anyone who can offer assistance? The dashboard electronics in my car have stopped working, but the car is still driving fine. This issue occurred before Christmas as well, and it only required a reset. Does anyone know how I can reset it myself? My vehicle is a Ford Focus 2012 with automatic transmission and push-button start.

You must bring your vehicle to the dealership because you will require a special tool to connect with the car's system.
