Electrical issue: Stop safely now

[Prdnk]

These lights came up when I started my 2023 Mach e. Can anyone tell me what problems I may be looking at? Thanks

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? We'd like to investigate this warning message concern on our end. Thanks!

Sure-- We purchased it at Schultz Ford in Nanuet, NY. Thanks

The car is warning of a battery problem. Possibly the 12V having an issue. It’s impossible to tell without pulling codes. Maybe @Mach-Lee @Mike G or @rugedraw can find your DTC(s). ??

@Prdnk These are the codes the car last reported. These codes do not indicate a hard fault code on the dash and are not new......you car has been reporting them for about a month. I don't think this is what caused the stop safely message. It is possible that whatever caused that to happen has not been reported to the cloud yet. It's hard to diagnose these things without being able to plug into the car directly.

Have you tried starting and driving it again to see if the code is still there? Maybe that'll force it to report the code to the cloud and I can check again to see if anything new shows up.

Just started car. Codes disappeared. Thanx. Will schedule a service to just have it checked out. Thanks for the help!

I’m asking this question because I want to use a battery tester. I want to test the battery on both my electric Mustang and myICE Mustang . I already know about the electric Mustang battery type, but a Motorcraft maintenance tree when you’re selecting a battery type on the tester do you use flooded or some type of other enhanced or AGM?

The 12V in the Mach-E is an AGM. ??

Yes, and I think I stated that I wanna know what you would call a maintenance free Motorcraft battery in an ICE Mustang ? Thank you.

Ford says technically a maintenance free battery is not a flooded battery but it’s not an AGM either so I’m just trying to figure out on a tester. Would you select flooded?
