So all these errors popped up at once today

[Jako607]

Driving home this afternoon and they all started one by one. Eventually it said it stopped 1 pedal mode then it said it turned AWD off, then right as I got into my driveway it started with the message to stop the car safely. Ugh. 860 miles on my First Edition, no issues until now...but apparently it was saving ALL the issues until now haha. Calling Service Dept tomorrow

I'd guess a low 12V battery.

Do you have a 12v battery charger?

 

[JSW]

Multiple codes all at once is akin to when I had the 12v issue, with one major exception - the red 12v battery icon is not illuminated/indicated to be a problem.

Does FordPass show that you’ve received the OTA update? If so, when does it show as completing?

No software updates for me yet, checked as of this morning. Unfortunately the service department told me this will be the first time they are servicing a Mach-E so should be interesting. I did give them a heads up that some people on here did have similar problems when it was the 12 volt battery and for them to check the technical bulletin on it because I know there is one. They seem fairly competent even though they don't have any experience. Will post an update once they get to look at it

Does Ford know which vin #’s Do Not have the software update that corrects the dead 12 volt battery issue?
or can the dealer plug into the relevant modules to check software versions?

Did it look something like this?

Don't worry about VINs. Just have them do the update. The good news for you is it has been well-tested and they will be able to instruct the techs at your dealer what to do.

 

[Jako607]

Yeah I just asked them to make sure it has all availabile updates including the 12v technical bulletin. They've had it for a day and a half now, still working on it. Luckily they gave me a loaner so I'm not in a hurry.

i would think so too

 

[Jako607]

i would think so too

2.5 days and they're still working on it.....

Hmm atleast good that they have it. I suspect all such errors will need some extended stay at thd dealer unfortunately.... I am having charging issues recently (posted in another thread) and I have not taken in yet big trying figure out the game plan first... as I think they will need the car a few days at a minimum to download logs and troubleshoot

At least I got a loaner so I'm not in a hurry...other than the fact that it's a Ford Explorer and I really miss my electric motor. I haven't driven an ICE vehicle in 7 years and the gas guzzling, slow acceleration, gear hunting, and exhaust fumes keep reminding me why I only buy electric now. I keep turning on the truck in my garage with the garage door still closed because I forgot you can't do that in an ICE car! ?

Update: Dealer had my MME for a total of 6 days. I just got it back yesterday. My service rep basically couldn't explain to me all they had done with it, and it's not articulated in the service receipt which is a bit annoying. All he could convey was they they "worked with Ford to do some software updates and made some software modules talk to other modules". Ugh. One day dealers will have service people who understand electric cars and their software, but today is not that day. But at least my pretty pony is back in my garage and I don't have to drive around that hulking, slow, loud Explorer loaner anymore ?

I wouldn't count on better explanations. Software updates for vehicles have been common for decades. ?
