Powertrain Malfunction/ Reduced Power

[newblood]

So my first post is unfortunately here. Last week I had the warning come up and went away several hours later. Yesterday came on again, have appt set up for this week. 2025 Flash 3500 miles. Not what I was wanting on a new truck.

Too bad on this, please keep us posted on what they find was the cause.

It's not that bad. As long as they order the correct part, the fix is fast and easy.

Sorry to hear that :/
They should be able to tow it.

P0AA6

That's a tow for sure

Hmmmm - you think bad battery modules that have been happening for 4 years that take usually 2 weeks and at a cost of likely $3K to $6K is not bad? And it is fast and it is easy?

What you would think is that Ford and their shady battery partner would have found a fix by now.

Most of these are the shifter module. The ones needing to be towed, or unable to charge, yeah, those are more serious. I was responding to the first one, which I went through a couple months ago.

Local Ford dealership installed a new Gear Shift Module (GSM) today after the backorder delay. Took them about an hour. I can tell the tray ABS plastic has a slightly different mold surface quality, and the shifter fold down button is less shiny and has a black inlay, other then that it appears identical. Only time will tell if the issue has been resolved. I am optimistic and thankful it is not the more serious dreaded battery swap problem.

Twas towed today. Awaiting their results and presumed (2-3 week) wait.

Update from dealer:

"High voltage battery needs replacing, ordering. No timeline on it's arrival."

Just clarify, a module or maybe two will need replacing. Ford has yet to replace an entire battery. I now it sounds like splitting hairs when your truck is down, but there is a distinction.

Good Luck!!

Oh absolutely, it was end of the day and they were stressed, so I wasn't picky on specifics until I get a timeline. I'll find out more tomorrow and relay.

Also need a loaner car, so tomorrow will get all the details.

Appreciate the follow up!

I think Ford would be wise to change the Errors so that if you have a Gear Shift Module (GSM) issue that is what the alert says in the App if not what the dash says, and if you have a more serious issue like a battery module or two it should say that, the Truck has the information available because I can read it in Forscan. I do want to thank everyone that posts their issues in this forum as it made getting my Truck's GSM replaced super easy with the dealer.

Ok, just found out that I need an upper rear array replaced. This is the second bad module for me. I’m at 82,000 miles on a 2022 Lariat. Luckily it is still under warranty because my service tech said they billed Ford $9900 for the last one (module 1 I believe). This one manifested as elevated battery temperatures after DCFCing. No other indications.
