SVS - Powertrain Malfunction - No Codes?

[MachyMark]

I received a SVS light in the car and a Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power Fault in the app. The car is driving just fine, no issues with the AWD system and experiencing no reduced power. I did not get a Stop Safely Now message

I have tried 3 different OB2 scanners and none have been able to pull a code. Is there a specific scanner I should be using for this car?

Dealer is booked out 1 month, so trying to identify the issue to make sure we can still drive on it.

Thanks!

Same problem here, it is a little worrying

Call the Ford dealer service dpartment with the vin or your phone number if you've been there before and ask them to 'pretty please' pull the codes the car has sent. They should be able to tell you if it's safe to drive.

The scanner needs to support Ford-specific parameters, a generic OBD reader will not work on EVs since they are not required to support OBD.

FORScan, Torque, and Car Scanner are examples of apps that support Ford-specific parameters.

Dealer helped, kinda! They said there are too many codes to list out. Lot of module errors and Power train controls module error

Interesting that my car just pulled the same thing on me today.

@MachyMark did you happen to find out what happened to your car?

Not yet. Dropped off the car last night as appointments were 2+ weeks out

Gotcha - hope they can get it figured out quickly for you. Thanks for the quick response!

As a 'Fun" update for my situation - the car seems to have realized that its error code was, itself, a mistake. The SVS is gone and no further alerts have popped for me. Gotta love a "haunted" car.

Turns out mine was the charge port door. Dunno how it’s connected to powertrain but that’s what the dealer diagnosed it as

Alright it turns out this was rodent damage. They chewed through the wire that indicates charge status

Grandpa Gus's pouches can temporarily discourage the things. You need to replace them regularly, and they can get used to the smell and decide to ignore it.
