I was hoping since my build date was after June 2022 I would be spared, but no such luck. Only 7777 miles purchased in Nov 22. Error hasn't cleared in over 2 days, but the car still drives fine. Getting service vehicle soon. Apr 10 is earliest dealership appointment available.

Sorry to hear that. There can be reasons for SVS other than the HVBJB. You mention your car still drives fine. Is the power at all reduced? If not, then there's a chance it's not the HVBJB.

It doesn't feel like the power is reduced. I just ordered an emporia charger to replace the included Ford charger I noticed some amber lights recently.

If you've not already done so, check out this thread. It might help.

Have you asked any forum members to check your error codes?

Not yet. I opened a ticket with Ford and they just told me to make sure I keep my appointment on the 10th.
Did you get only the SVS indication or also the HVB message on Ford Pass? No matter what you want to keep your appointment but if someone looks up your error code they can tell you if if is the dreaded HVBJB failure or something else.

SVS and Ford pass error
If you want to know any info before your appointment reach out and have someone read your error codes. At least your dealer is getting you in quickly!

As mentioned, “SVS” is the equivalent of the old check engine light. It could be almost anything. If accompanied by “Stop Safely Now”, it’s likely serious.

April 2022 build. AWD Select. I just went out to the vehicle again, powered up, and the SVS and wrench is no longer present. I hooked it back up to L2 charging. Monitoring now. Any advice?

Is there any other way than WOT?
