Ford Fiesta Ghia 1.4 2006 - dash says engine failure engine has overheated BUT - JOHN PETER EVANS

I charged my battery up the wrong way and when I tried to put it back on car it was sparking like mad , thought something was left on that took high voltage! Anyway it was the polarity had changed in the battery

When I put a new battery on it lights up the ignition but wont crank. It says on dash :see owners manual engine overheated engine failure.

Also noticed the blinking security light that usually goes off after switching ignition on is blinking very rapidly..

Any ideas please ?

Best way you’ve blown a fuse . Worst way, the engine ecu has been fried . Take a look at the fuses behind the glove box.
