Car Plugged In/Service Vehicle Soon on IPC and a bunch of error codes present!

[KevinS]

Weird errors this evening; I plugged my car in to charge this evening and after about 2 hours it threw an charge fault error in FordPass.

Go out to car and sure enough, red ring. Tried unplug/plug... red ring again. I unplugged it again.

Started car... it gave me a message on the SYNC screen asking me if the car was plugged in. I selected no. It gave me a "Service Vehicle Soon" message on the IPC.

Get out Forscan and did a check. There are the errors it threw:

DTCs in SOBDMC: U019B:00-2E
DTCs in BECM: U3513:00-AF, U019B:00-2E, U049C:00-2E, U027C:00-2F
DTCs in SOBDM: P0D2B:38-2A, P2C94:00-AA, U0111:00-2A, U0140:00-2B, U0253:00-2A, U027C:00-2A, U0293:00-2A, U301E:00-AB

Can anyone help me decipher these errors? Looks like my plan to use the car tomorrow is off. I may need to save my meager charge to get to the dealer.

Thanks in advance.

Update: I went back out and plugged it back in, and it seems to be taking a charge now and there is no "Service Vehicle Soon" error on the dash. What. The. Hell.

I plugged in Forscan again, and it gave the same codes but with different suffixes:

DTCs in SOBDMC: U019B:00-28
DTCs in BECM: U3513:00-2C, U019B:00-2C, U049C:00-28, U027C:00-28
DTCs in SOBDM: P0D2B:38-28, P2C94:00-28, U0111:00-28, U0140:00-28, U0253:00-28, U027C:00-28, U0293:00-28, U301E:00-28

Do the -28 mean they're codes that are no longer present?

So perplexed.

Happened to me, it went away after hours or a day (I didn't get the error codes).

For me it might have been related to some residual plastic that broke off a prior lvl2 or 3 charge, and I notice it when I plugged/unplugged in at home.

P0D2B - Control Pilot Indicator Control Circuit/Open: Signal Frequency Incorrect - This DTC sets when the EVSE control pilot frequency is less than 950Hz or greater than 1050Hz for 5 seconds. This DTC is related to a faulty or incompatible EVSE. Consult with customer to determine which EVSE was used when the fault occurred. If fault occurred with a customer owned EVSE ask customer to provide it for testing.

P2C94 - Hybrid/EV Battery Contactor Control Supply Circuit Low - Sets when SOBDM senses the contactor relay control circuit voltage is low while the contactor relay is being commanded open.

So it's probably your EVSE pilot signal being out of frequency spec that caused it (should be exactly 1 kHz). The other codes were probably caused by the car going into an error state and draining the 12V battery afterwards. What EVSE are you using?

The code suffix is used to denote the current status of the code (active vs. history).

Thank you... I have a ChargePoint Flex that I've had for a year plus. It didn't register any problems at the charger when I went out to investigate the error on FordPass.

I'll check each connection today for any signs of damage.

Thanks so much -- maybe not the crisis I feared, but definitely worth investigating. But, we'll take the car today as I originally planned!
