Got in the MME yesterday, not on charge, about 50% charged. Got a message "12V Battery Fault - Service Soon". Searched the Forum and looks like a lot of these recently. Looks like most showed up on Ford app, but mine was on the small screen. Went shopping with multiple stops and didn't get the message again. Checked MME today and no fault indication. Checked Ford app messages. Only ones related to security alarms (dog was in car yesterday). Should I be worried? In my first week (November) I had the 12V batt go bad and had to get it towed to dealer, who diagnosed a bad cell and replaced batt. Do OBD-II analyzers show such stuff? I have a Blue-something unit that I haven't tried on MME yet.
TIA

Thanx. At least now I've figured out how to access the frunk release leads.

It’s just a notification that you’re 12V battery dipped to somewhere near 12 Volts. No service required.

MIne's been waiting for parts for over a month now. Getting pretty frustrated.
