Lit up like a Christmas tree

[NJBob]

Came out of a store got into my 22 Mav Ecoboost 19k miles. Went to start it dash lit up. Service engine soon coolant issue others I don't recall. Shut it down opened the door restarted all was well. Just concerned I have health issues and don't want to be stranded. Thought?

A call to your dealer service department is free. I'd start with that call Monday morning. At a minimum, they should be able to plug into the diagnostics port and see where those codes came from. Also, I'm wondering what the FordPass app is telling you?

Great point! Ford Pass says health is good. Not to far from an oil change will let the dealer know at that time. After it started no cel drove perfectly. Thanks

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Might've just been a random computer glitch, similar to phone or PC applications errors, especially if the dealer finds nothing. I've had mine quickly flash random error messages in the instrument cluster a couple times. But mine quickly disappeared before I could even read them. No DTCs were detected with OBD2.

Yes so far that's what I am thinking too. Did not plug in scanner but do not think it will show anything. Mav has been fine for 19k miles. But I will ask the dealer to check it out next oil change.

Mine was a start after going into a store not auto start. But wife's Subie had the same happen as yours battery 5.5 years old I just changed it. These modern cars are so dependent on batteries and electrical in general today.
