What to do if my Ford Automobile says 'PLEASE CHECK CD'?

  If your Ford Automobile displays 'PLEASE CHECK CD', it indicates a general CD fault. This could mean the CD cannot be read or a data CD has been inserted. Ensure the disc is loaded correctly, clean it, and try again with a known music disc. If the error continues, contact your dealer.
