Dashboard warning messages

[Kathi]

Another potential when you are getting a lot of warning lights like this is to charge the battery, or test and replace the battery if needed. Once the voltage gets low all sorts of error messages will begin popping up.

Thank you! I'm heading back to the dealership and will definitely have them check the battery. My brother did mention his F150 doing the same thing when his battery was dying.

So I am having the same issues in my 2022 Badlands. Multiple warning lights going off at the same time. (Hill Start Assist not available, Pre-collision assst not available, 911 assist not available, shift system fault, park assist not available, etc.) When this happens, my turn signals don't work and cruise control is out. I learned the hard way, while rock crawling, that the goat modes also go out. Heading up a hill and it pops back into normal vs. rock crawl mode. It has been to two dealerships and they can't find anything wrong. The messages will go away if I disconnect the battery for a few minutes. However, what used to happen every 500 miles or so, now happens almost daily. Has anyone successfully resolved this?

Hi there – send a message to us with your VIN and approximate mileage. I’ll look into this for you. Thanks!

I am experiencing the same issues. Only have 500 miles on my Badlands and twice, while driving (once over the weekend) and once just now dropping my son off at school. All of the warning messages popped up "Service Advance Trac, Pre Collision Assist Not Available, 4wd off, Hill Start Assist Not available, Drive Mode not available at this time." On top of that the steering wheel was harder to move , making me worried about the steering column. I had an issue with a steering column many years ago (probably 15+) when I purchased as used Chevy Cobalt. The steering wheel stopped moving on i95 and i couldn't turn my car. Thankfully I made it to the dealer after that happened, but that makes me very nervous about something similar happening to a brand new car I waited 6+ months for.

Hey there! I can look into your Bronco’s error message concerns on my end if you’d like. Will you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership info?

Is something supposed to happen when we do this?

Have you had the chance to have this looked at?, we are seeing this at my dealer and seems there has not been a fix, I replaced a Gateway module that temporarily fixed this concern, the HS2 Can network goes offline all except the power steering module, which is first module connected to Gateway module, all modules after connector C200 under the left side of dash are affected as seen in this pic of HS2 Network using FDRS

They did think it is that module. It took a week to get the part in and I am going in on the 20th to have it replaced. Fingers crossed!!

Keep us posted on how you made out and which module they replaced

Chris, they replaced the gateway module this morning. The tech took it for a test drive and it immediately started with the warning messages again. They are going to keep it a couple of more days and try to get the Ford engineers involved.

I'm beginning to wonder if I just need to file a lemon law claim - I absolutely love this vehicle, but it's been nearly a year of dealing with this.

Few weeks ago I replaced the Gateway, it didn't fix it either, then last week I replaced the Gear Shift Module, thought that fixed it, customer took vehicle drove 100 miles to NJ and happened again, it now happens but not often, Did they talk to Ford Hotline?

I'm at around 1700 miles and my Big Bend did this to me yesterday. Got in the car and had multiple warning messages, fishing P on the gear selector. Turned off ignition, opened door to turn everything off, then it started right up. Not bringing it to the dealer because these types of issues they won't be able to replicate the issue and will just be a waste of my time. Unless it keeps happening. Anyone have a solution?

Do keep us posted. It did happen a couple of times with my 2021 fwd 1.5 escape SE. Always self corrected itself. Turn off ignition, open door, that seems to shut everything down and will restart.
