Why does my Ford Focus say acceleration reduced?
Reduced acceleration is usually a sign of low voltage, but if you have replaced the battery that should not be an issue unless the alternator is not charging properly. Might be worth checking the earthing points are clean and tight.
What is reduced acceleration?
What is Reduced Acceleration Altitude? Reduced Acceleration Altitude is a fuel efficiency best practice during the climb phase. Its principle is to accelerate at an altitude lower than what is usually done. In most cases, the altitude is reduced from 3000ft to 800ft. For lighter aircraft, it can go down to 400ft.
What can go wrong with a Ford Focus?

What can cause reduced engine power?

- Defective Oxygen Sensor.
- Throttle Body Issues.

- Transmission Failure.
Can MAF sensor cause reduced engine power?
The mass airflow sensor provides information to the car’s ECU about how much air is entering the engine. In most cases, a bad MAF sensor will lead to constant reduced engine power which may be more noticeable when accelerating harder than usual, for example when merging into the highway.
