An additional thought on this. This is a potentially dangerous condition where the accelerator could get stuck in the depressed position. If you fix it yourself, please be careful initially and be ready to bump into neutral or hit the Start button if something doesn't go as planned. Be safe...

An OTA that requires immobilization can trigger a number of smaller updates that can do weird things like you describe while those updates process. Give it 24 hours and see if the symptoms go away first.

Make sure the black module is fully seated on the bar. It looks like it has come out a bit in your pictures. Then push the spring lock on the rod as indicated by @TaxmanHog

Here is a possible scenario that I've tracked over the last couple of years with an independent 12v monitor. A series of events can leave a healthy 12v depleted enough to light our trucks up like this. A series of short drives, door activities etc. I have found in most cases the truck tops up...

Is your update window before or at the same time as your charge window? If so, try scheduling your update an hour or two after your charge window opens. This will allow the truck to fully charge the 12v while your HVB is charging. That will give you a solid charge on the 12v for the update...

I take a really simple approach to this. The media is just noise. Ford cannot let up on the EV trend, or it will be irrelevant in a few years and far behind the rest of the world. It would be a death sentence. Ford knows this.... I highly doubt Ford will let themselves be left behind. They...

Good to go. Got the challenge set aside, and now the only task is to drive on.

Bulging is usually caused by freezing due to a combination of low SOC and cold temperatures. It damages structures inside the battery. Even if it tests ok, I'd replace it ASAP.

I had one on a previous truck. It was good for storing things like hitches and tiedowns but the back of the bed needed to be empty enough to swing it out to access it, or the tonneau cover needed to be opened. In my case, I had a Diamondback hardcover that made it awkward. Works great if you...

Keep in mind, your error U0284 points to the Active Grill Air Shutter Module 'A'. While you are under looking, check the wires and the connector to the shutters.

Do you notice the cruchy travel in 2-pedal drive? Just curious if it is the pedal travel vs. the functional transition from regen to physical brakes.

2023 Lariat, since new, and I have not noticed this. If I pay close attention, I can tell when it transitions to physical brakes by the feel of the truck but I can't tell on the pedal. I'm pretty tuned in after 3+ years.

4 winters with mine and its been a cold one this year. No problems with anything cold or snow-related. I expect you may simply have a defective part or a poor connector. Once fixed, I hope things work out well with the truck. Mine sits outside all year round.

No, not the mini fridge! If you still have the error, it is likely you'll need a trip back to the dealer. The shutters need to be operational to allow airflow to cool the battery when DC fast charging or when driving down the highway.

Yes the terms are confusing. Think of it this way: The shutter assembly is the "active" part of the cooling system. The errors you are receiving are from the system. U0284 below indicates that the part that the Active Air Management system can't communicate with is the Active Grille Air...

I believe they call the shutters the "Active Air Dam". Not be confused with the passive air dam under it.

You mentioned you cleared the codes. What codes did you clear and which one(s) came back?

Try this: Schedule your update at the tail end of your charging cycle. This will make sure your 12v is fully charged when the update starts. If it still fails, you might want to replace your 3-year-old battery or put a battery charger on it to get through the update.

I find that if I double-press the OK button by accident on startup, my menu is set up to take me to the calm screen. If I acknowledge a pop-up, and it takes a second to clear, so I press OK again, I'll end up on the calm screen. Does anyone ever actually use the calm screen :question:

I'm driving my Lightning until something better comes along...... or until I can't anymore
