Ford Focus engine management light

Car: Ford Focus
Variant: ST170
Model Year: 2004
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
i know its not a good thing but can somebody explain what could be causing it to come on? it doesn't flash, just stays on. ive run the tests to check or error codes and the one i get is D262 which is 'U1262 D262 Missing SCP (J1850) Message'. not sure what that means/ i would just like a rough idea what it could be before i take it to a garage.

I have a vauxhall zafira with the same problem....i am now turning the key in the ignition, then waiting 15 seconds before starting engine, this seems to help as the light goes out after driving about 100yards down the road.......hope this helps you....Gorty x
