To reset the transmission control module (TCM) in a 2013 Ford Focus, the procedure involves starting by placing the transmission in neutral with the key turned on but the engine not running. Next, turn the key off, shift back to park, then turn it back on, wait a moment, and finally start the engine. When you shift to neutral without the engine running, a message will appear saying "Transmission Ready" along with a progress bar. The TCM manages transmission functions and gear changes by working in conjunction with the engine, transmission fluid temperature sensor, brake pedal position sensor, throttle position sensor, and occasionally the turbine sensor. When functioning correctly, the TCM assists in maintaining gear settings, fuel efficiency, and emission controls.

Put the gearshift in neutral without turning on the engine. Switch off, then shift back to park and turn on the engine. Wait a moment before proceeding. You'll see a notification that the transmission is ready along with a progress bar when you place it in neutral without the engine running.

Is that even in English? I am having trouble grasping what you're trying to convey with that explanation.
