Key On? It will keep playing until voltage is too low

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor™ Your vehicle has an Intelligent Oil-Life Monitor that determines when you should change the engine oil based on how you use your vehicle. By using several important factors in its calculations, the monitor helps reduce the cost of owning your...

Are you talking for EB's or hybrids for breakdowns? Might find the ample oil reports from hybrids to learn you are not correct.

incorrect

Pre-25MY Lariats, and 25/26MY get to see total miles and electric miles for Trip A/B. Others get a per drive breakdown on turnoff. So long as you reset a trip at the oil change - yes on those trims/years. Have to do the hard math of subtraction of course. But easy for them to see they have 5K...

It's also Ford's current street address.

Forscan is a software package that talks specifically to Fords and Mazdas computer systems - only. In order to connect your laptop with that program (or phone with app) to the truck computers - you have to connect to the OBD port. That's the hardware device. Forscan.org lists what they will...

So it's recognizing the hardware of the OBD reader - or you'd get nothing read from modules. Got a better error than that exactly? Doubtful you need new hardware - sounds like last recall changed something on truck side and software can't read something that allows more than viewing to be done...

My last fillup, it would only give %, not the estimated distance like time before. After my last oil change - I had under 10 miles city, then 90 easy miles on highway, in 3 days. The OLM had me estimated for 5600 oil change at fillup. I'm convinced that if normal avg driving - OLM is going for...

24MY FWD hybrid. Left & right are rather open shields - not keeping water out. Didn't open, but betting it's an open back on connector. Can only hope the open side is slightly pointed down, but probably not. Middle a tad better for what you'd expect for exposed to elements. But only 1 side...

interesting blue masking tape... huh

So any other visitors to that spot to see if open on back of connector? ETA: posted same time as answer to that question. Perhaps they were just thinking of the mechanic and wanting to make it easy for back probing when things went wrong. Because, well, the back is open. I think I'm going to...

For sure take that back to dealer - have them look underneath a couple other batches of vehicle. That looks like a quality control issue. Bin was empty that shift, part not available to grab.

Of course it has to remember before it sleeps, otherwise there would be no signal to see to know. Again - the fob doesn't know where it's it - it can't adjust it's behavior. It sleeps in the cabin. It doesn't have a receiver - it can't be told to "stay awake". The "if equipped" anti-theft...

My simple battery tester found the same thing on OEM small battery, and warranty bigger battery. The stated Ah / CCA was easily surpassed in the test. So they do overbuild by a bit. I wondered how bad would it be if they actually matched the specs! So SOH% was fine, except for... The internal...

Interesting. I recall seeing some videos for mid/late 2000's different makes/models where they started doing clutch alternators being disengaged at startup, and some until engine/exhaust sensors were warmed up. Then they'd engage either for time or a voltage reading - and then start duty...

Very true - unless they got someone specialized in it - easier to replace the whole battery even if just a connector inside. Glad it got figured out, sorry it had to hit so many times before it was trackable. Will be interesting to see that workorder notes - if they include how much they...

Just curious with the above comment and using Low mode, with potentially very heavy regen braking with no brake light on. Do you trust them more behind you? Interesting observation on 12VB, and nice keeping it going so long! You'll probably get normal expected life out of it.

You can test like the other posters have. Since the manual clearly states it must have moved recently for it to work. Park truck - fob/handle lock all - leave fob sitting on shelf close enough to be allowed a normal handle unlock. That way distance isn't a factor. Wait a couple minutes - go...

The fob doesn't know where it's at to behave differently - it's a transmitter. It sleeps wherever it's left not moving. The truck tracks where it was at. Last seen in vehicle, that's where it's at. Seen moving on outside, that's where it's at. Misadjusted receiver radio trying to make that...
