Focus SE 2001 DOHC
Could this recall cause my check engine light to stay on?
Recall Date:
NOV 06, 2002
Model Affected:
2001 Ford Focus
Summary:
CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH ZETEC ENGINES, LOOSE OR BROKEN ATTACHMENTS AND MISROUTED BATTERY CABLES COULD LEAD TO CABLE INSULATION DAMAGE.
Consequences:
THIS, IN TURN, COULD CAUSE THE BATTERY CABLES TO SHORT RESULTING IN HEAT DAMAGE TO THE CABLES. BESIDES HEAT DAMAGE, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE, THE VEHICLE MAY FAIL TO START, OR SMOKE, MELTING, OR FIRE COULD ALSO OCCUR.
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE BATTERY CABLES FOR THE CONDITION OF THE CABLE INSULATION AND PROPER TIGHTENING OF THE TERMINAL ENDS. AS NECESSARY, CABLES WILL BE REROUTED, RETAINING CLIPS INSTALLED, AND DAMAGED BATTERY CABLES REPLACED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN FEBRUARY 10, 2003.

What code would it send?
Right now the codes are:
p0135
p0141
And I've done it all.
Replaced fuse 18.
Fixed two burnt wires.
Replaced plug wires.
Replaced O2 sensors. (bosch and ntk)
Haven't checked voltage yet, but haven't been able to find a good tutorial on that one.
A tech told me that if the person before me had the car for a extended period of time with the wire short and it kept sending signals it could wear out part of the computer. What are my absolute cheapest options for replacing a pcm, short of junking it [scratch]
