The 2017 Ford Focus comes equipped with a timing chain, as opposed to a timing belt. Timing chains are essential components in the car's performance and are integral to the engine. They are pivotal in coordinating the rotations of both the crankshaft and camshaft, which, in turn, control the valves of the engine. Therefore, the timing chain (or belt) regulates and dictates the timing of when the engine's valves open and close. This is crucial because the proper functioning of these valves must be in sync and rhythmic to manage intake and exhaust effectively. The Fusion is outfitted with a durable timing chain that is designed to last approximately 250,000 miles before needing a replacement.

To clear the transmission warning light on a Chevy Captiva, put the key in the ignition and turn it to the position where the accessories power up. You'll see all the lights on your dashboard activate. Then, in under five seconds of turning the key, press the accelerator pedal all the way down to the floor three times.

Please give me a call at 940-910-7211 or should I bring my car to a Chevy dealership? Let me know if they can resolve the warning light issue as I'm concerned about my transmission failing. Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated. I previously went to a transmission shop, but I'm hesitant to make any changes that might further damage my transmission.
