Ford Engineering Mode, been around a long time. I know my 2016 F-150 had same mode. Forscan not needed. Simple change from drivers seat.

I have exact same Mav, 25 Lariet Hybrid, so we're comparing apples to apples. I changed my RDU & PTU fluids last Oct @ 4100 miles. Reason, same as you, multiple posts of one or both underfilled. My experience was neither was noticeably underfilled, PTU not much metallic particles, RDU a bit...
Agree, they are both great vehicles, a matter of choice. I prefer my hybrid, but realistically my fuel mileage is not significantly higher than the 2.0 EB, primarily because much of my 12k miles are over the road where ICE runs a lot. I do like the simplicity of the hybrid eCVT transmission, &...
The HV Batteries were tested in NYC cabs in Ford Escape Hybrids in the early 2000's era, reportedly for 300,000 miles without a HVB failure. I have no idea what a Mav 2.0 EB turbo replacement cost is, but a buddy just replaced the turbo in his 3/4ton Dodge Ram. Cost him $7,500. I'm betting on...
MaverickDragon is spot on. It's a world economy, parts sourced from virtually everywhere. And the Maverick plant in Hermismo now has Fords 1st ever Robatic Dog (featured on 60 Minutes), that walks the assembly line conducting maintenance inspections, cutting edge. The Robot Dog will soon be...
So true, haven't borrowed in many years. We're doing more auto pay now. But it does kind of suck that your reward for a lifetime of hard work, conservative lifestyle, savings, results in an insurance penalty to support accident claims for the reckless folks. It is what it is.
My wife & I both turn 80 this year, and our rates are high. Been driving since 1962, Never had a speeding ticket, or a wreck. Just one stolen VW in 1973, insurance paid me $750, $50 more than I paid for VW three years earlier. We're ALL paying for reckless drivers, Claims are amortization a Ross...
Manual states after neutral towing your Mav behind d a motorhome, DO NOT attempt to move or start it for 15 minutes. Just shift into Park, which exits Neutral Tow mode, exit vehicle. One time I needed to move it quickly, attempted to start quickly, had a screen full of errors. It started but...
Good point. My Mav gets parked in the pole barn, seldom, almost never locked. So if locking doors effectively shuts systems down quickly, does this short interval interfere with module updates, communicating with Ford Servers, etc?
Yes you can with Forscan. You change it from the default "Auto" setting to "Last Known" position. I did this on my 25MY Hybrid. So if you turn Mav off with headlights in Headlight position, the switch will be in that position when you turn truck on. It's Fortran setting Ez BCM Autolock Initial...
Forscan Ez BCM 12V power outlet timeout setting can be changed from 4500seconds (75 minutes) default, to a shorter or longer interval. I once changed it to 14,400 seconds (4 hours), but seemed to cause a problem, so changed it back to 4,500 seconds. I also shortened it once to 5 minutes to prove...
Sounds like a good plan to do the headlight suggestion from Mavster Mechanic. Kudos to him, great work. Yes, I can & do check 12V battery SOC. While driving it's between roughly 85% to 92%, And the Voltage as I said earlier remains at a steady 14.x V. Also as a talking point, most of my 12k...
I believe the 25/26MY are different. My 25 Hybrid always shows 14.x while driving. Never seen it vary. I have 12k miles, 1 yr old. In the 1st couple months it sat in garage without being driven for days, and would go to sleep as designed to preserve AGM battery. Never a Deep sleep, just no dome...
Mavster Mechanic explained it in #166. System is obviously looking at particular current draw sources, Not actual amperage drawn. Let's say you pull 5 amp from
Mavster Mechanic explained it in #172 & other posts. It's apparently a binary selection criteria, not an analog amp draw value that...
Such memories, clutch, brake, feathering gas simultaneously to keep old Bessy running. Then my buddy turning the AM radio volume too loud while I'm trying to listen to the engine running. Those old "3 on the tree", stick shift carburetor cars were a far cry from our modern vehicles.
I'm 100% on board with you. Yes, 25MY the a/c is frequently turned on by the computer, even if turned off before turning engine off. And the tiny yellow indicator is very hard to see in daylight. I almost always have to turn the a/c off via button if I don't want or need it. If only the...
