Electrical system drain, service required

[Embargo10]

I have a 21 gtpe and woke up to some fun this morning. Overnight I received a couple of messages in my FordPass App about a electrical service drain and a security system alarm. When I went to check on my car I couldn’t get any door to open. I tried the unlock button on my key and no response from the vehicle. I ended up getting the frunk open by jumping the car. I removed the panels from the frunk and disconnected the negative terminal on the battery and let it sit for 5 minutes. After I connects the negative terminal I still got no response from the car. I ended up jumping the battery and the car came to life. I got everything back on the car and decided to take it for a drive. Upon startup I got an error about a suspension fault but the car seemed to drive just fine. As of right now it appears to be fine but I’m nervous to take it anywhere. Anyone run into anything like this?

Since the battery actually went dead, you probably want to put it on a battery charger for a while: See: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/how-to-recondition-service-your-12v-battery.11069/

If you get that message again, you either need software updates, a new battery, or both and should take it into the dealer.

That’s what I was afraid of, thanks for the quick reply. I will schedule an appointment and post any updates.

Wanted to report back after I took my car into service. I was advised that they found the following codes U200D:15, U200E:15 and U200F:15. They found SSM 50077 for this issue. They ended up reprogramming the RFA module to the latest calibration using FDRS, cleared codes and verified everything cleared. They also found codes U0103:87 and U0100:00 and found TSB 21-2405. They reprogrammed the GSM to the latest software level using FRDS and verified everything cleared.

Good to hear about a quick service success keep us updated if anything else goes wrong. I sold my GT after it bricked three times. Complete voltage meltdown and a 60 day repair. Made a nice profit on the private party sale though after they got it running

I have a premium on order and I’m very worried about the continued issues I keep reading about with cross battery and voltage problems

I got a shift system fault error and then the car went haywire with lights flashing on the exterior and put itself into deep sleep mode. I can't even get in the doors now. I have to have it towed in. This is the third major problem I've had with the car in a year. I'm beyond disappointed.

1st time for this message… “ Electrical System Drain Service Required” there is an electrical drain………
this was at 4:13am this morning….
however, now when checking widget,9am, voltage is showing as 13v., the 12v battery is being maintained! Correct?
it would seem to me some how the software logic and sending messaging are out of sync. Instead of seeing if the system will turn on & maintain the 12v battery, it sends out the messaging first….. Am I understanding this?! Bill Pitman

I got this message a few minutes ago, but I am schedule for service next Monday for Connectivity so add to list. If I keep having issues with this car it will be good-by.

do you mind if I ask what happened with this car? What fixed it and did they say what caused it? This is my current situation and the dealership is saying they are unable to get into the car at all and will have to have some specialist come in to try and open the car, but my house keys, license, entire life is inside the car…. Thanks
