total ecu meltdown car broke., dead.

[telectrix]

just a weird one here. driving along, slow, in traffic, suddenly warning comes on " tryepressure system fault", then power steering fails, then IBIL roigh sensor fail" then RBIS left sensor fail, then engine stalls, won't restart. stuck in left lane of dual carriageway, hazzards on but still several drivers drove within 2 ft. of my back bumper and the could not manoevre past due to being blocked in from behind ( 80% of these were women). finally, 2 kind blokes help push into side street ti get rid of the traffic jam. them other warnings on dash.... child locks inoperative boot lid open, and a host of other things, can't recall all.finally, no central locking, dashboard lights not coming on. time for a tow truck. i have sussed it this morning and it's all sorted now. just a fishing trip see if any members can deduce the problem.

btw it's a ford cmax, 2012.

Since it's all been fixed and you're not totally spitting chips I'm voting for an issue in the passenger side footwell .

severaltimes.

Did you thrash it with a branch from a tree...

 

[Wilko]

Ok, my next guess is the ehps pump connectors perhaps.

 

[shaun1]

I had a similar thing on my focus, turned out to be a bad joint on the multipin connector on the back of the dash clocks where its soldered to the board. Must hve been one of the pins for can bus as all the computers could no longer see each other so it threw uo loads of errors including the imobiliser which stopped the engine

prize goes to ruston. the problem was a knackered battery.been fine till suddenly went down.

Percussive maintenance rarely fails
Was it the battery?

Edit guess I should read the whole thread before replying @telectrix check your alternator is putting out charge it’s rare for a complete fail like that when the engine is running Or is it start stop peesh?

Yoga says "Driver On Foot Returns", but I could've mixed it up a bit.
