Hi, I replaced ECU on 2019 FORD FOCUS 1.0 EcoBoost (MK4)
ECU has been bough used (all the same as original ECU)
Issue: Car is not starting, tried to proceed with "PATS programming" but there is nothing related to ECU/PCM replacement
The only error is:
Module - PCM
Error code - P161B:00-2F
The ignition turns-on without problems, start-button has green light, engine not turning if trying to start
Gearbox: Manual
Let me know please how to fix it and let the car start
Notes: original ECU damaged and no connection with it, also these ECU's are not-clonnable either in bench or boot mode
ECU: MG1CS016
