Maybe the problem is part of why Ford removed the On-Board scale system from the 2023 Lightnings, not just because of the chip shortage?

The 160,000 KM on the battery would be the drivetrain warranty (battery to electric motors), and it seems that if you're "only" at 135K KM, you're still within that warranty period. I haven't read the fine print on the drivetrain warranty, but, for $2050, it's worth looking into, IMHO. Just to...

I wouldn't do that, as it would mess with the vehicle's design and give Ford an excuse to void any future Ford warranty claims. Ask Ford and your dealer for a repair that can stand up to Canadian winters for the service life of the vehicle. FWIW, here's an MS Copilot analysis of why it should...

But potentially the multiple openings there, sealed by gaskets, provide an entry point for corrosive salty liquid to get into the front of the HVB battery pack "casket" and act on BMS components inside. @Nomoregas has implied that salt and water corrosion is the problem: But he hasn't said...

I have just skimmed this thread. Is the discussion for a BMS for the HVB? The BMS for the 12V LVB is part of the negative terminal cable and is located just before the attachment point to the negative terminal of the LVB. The 12V BMS is to the right of the blue circle on the left in the...

The Park Lock recall now shows up in the Ford app, too, for my 2023 Lariat ER:

IIRC, you have to confirm the BT pairing code for the truck on your SYNC screen, and the same code for your FCSP via the Ford app (a.k.a. FordPass), which must be connected to the FCSP via Wi-Fi. That's why if you need or want to BT-repair the FCSP with your truck and have lost the FCSP Wi-Fi...

@Pitbull2o08, I've only reset my FCSP once using the factory reset button inside. I had trouble getting the LEDs near the factory reset button to flash. According to the following two old posts, after holding the reset button down > 30 seconds and not getting the LEDs to flash, powering the...

This is how my LVB behaved when my dealer trashed my 12V battery during the parking sensor update about a year ago. The NOCO Genius2 would charge the LVB until the NOCO green LED showed, but it would only have a 25% SOC according to Car Scanner. The dealer ran a battery test and replaced the...

So, in other words, if Ford is only looking for Pro Power Onboard stories to advertise their technology, they've officially converted the Home Integration System to a "non-person." Why not search for stories about how the Home Integration System automatically came on and backed up homes, as...

Must have bothered you a lot, since you felt compelled to post the remark twice! I don't see the problem. Say, in 2022-2023, they make some design decision, and liability wins out. So, it's hard to maintain PPOB ON with the truck off because of that. Then, there's a lot of grumbling from...

Your household outlets are on your property and presumably always under your control. Your truck is parked here, there, and everywhere. Ford is a bigger target of legal opportunity than Joe Homeowner, at least Joe the Average Homeowner...

Maybe Ford's concern with leaving PPOB on with the truck off is some kid fooling around with the outlets in the truck bed and frying themselves on the 240V outlet? So, it just seemed safer from a liability perspective to have PPOB off when the truck is off (and presumably might be unattended).

Tested "automatic" Backup Power Transfer with a simulated grid outage. No dice. The system sat 4'15" with no grid power, and the truck showed no signs of trying to initiate transfer. So much for ECG-25.2.8.5 fixing HIS unit automatic backup problems. But hey, during yesterday's actual power...

As they say, "One swallow does not make a summer." But it looks like the backup power transfer(BPT) times reported in my version of the Ford app are off by one hour. As shown in my screen capture below, the major power transfer is reported ending around 9:56 PM on 3/15/26. It actually ended...

Ditto, ditto. Just checked the Ford app. Presumably got it at 1 am today, the scheduled time for auto updates. My truck is currently providing backup power for a several-hour ongoing outage caused by 50 mph winds. Before the power went out for good, it was sporadically off and on again. I...

@chl. There is also the old adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." So, I think as long as I stay below 1% charge difference between cells, I won't charge to a high % SOC. If you follow the threads, Darren Palmer, the VP of EVs at Ford ostensibly created the recommendation that it's best to...

Especially since I plunked down the big bucks for a Home Integration System, I'm keeping my Lightning ~forever unless an EV comes along that is fully self-driving or has a 700-mile+ range and charges in 10 minutes. My reasons for getting the Lightning were EV, Home Integration System...

I don't think balancing only occurs when charged to 100%. Before I left San Antonio yesterday, using OBDLink MX+, I had 0.0% voltage difference between cells, 0.6% charge difference at 50% SOC, ~70° F outside temperature. Charged to 80% at ~5 kW (took ~8 hours). Drove ~85 mi to Austin. 0.8%...

I went on a 3600-mile round trip from San Antonio, TX, to London, Ontario, and back by two different routes this past summer. The ABRP Premium subscription worked well for planning and driving the trip. However, for local routing between in-town locations, I used Google Maps as the routing...
