“STOP SAFELY NOW” message

[256fail]

This morning I got in the truck to take my kids to school and after unplugging and starting the truck I had the red " Stop Safely" message pop up. I had no other warnings or issues. The truck appeared to be on. I turned it off and turned it back on with the same message appearing. Ford Pass shows no alerts or warnings which is odd.

Not having time to figure it out, we quickly got in my wife's car to get the kids to school. I came back :40 later and started the truck up and the warning is gone. No issues. I decided to test drive the truck and it behaves completely normal.

Is this a glitch?

After owning two ICE 22 F150s this year with no issues, I'm starting to get a little rattled with the truck. 2 weeks ago I inexplicably had the reduced power 64% with the front motor drive not working on a normal day. It went away again with a restart of the truck.

I'm curious if a lot of this is caused by faulty 12V batteries?

I just had the same problem, except I also lost power. I turned the truck on and off a few times a few times and it started working. Anyone else have the same issue?

What were the available power reading (left side energy meter) ?
If it was less than 100% available, please post how much the truck is reporting ?

I also had this happen yesterday. It occurred on the first start after pulling fuse 32 to reset the modem. It went away after shutting off for a few minutes. No reduced power while message was displayed.

This was my exact scenario. I still have the modem disconnect issue and refuse to pull the fuse again, for fear of causing this message or more issues.

By chance were you charging at the time when you reset the fuse?

Correction…it was plugged in waiting to charge. I pulled the fuse one prior time when not charging and no codes.

I had the same scenario. I was plugged in, but it wasn't set to charge until the evening. I have a feeling that had to do with the code.

Just had this issue while driving. I was using 1PD going about 35mph, for a split second I lost acceleration and all my gauges reset, then "Stop Safely Now". I had 2 warning lights in the bottom of my HUD (Yellow Wrench, and a Red symbol of the truck with an exclamation point). Luckily I was within 2 minutes of my dealership and took it straight there without turning off the truck, they're currently looking at it.

Can also confirm this, had the please stop safely message this morning after pulling fuse 32 last night while plugged in. No other warnings, no reduced power, truck drives normally. I had previously pulled the fuse while not plugged in with no issues.

Can also confirm

Yup, confirmed, I accidentally pulled the fuse while plugged in(should have unplugged) and it gave stop message only.

It wasn't even necessary as it was a Ford pass outage and not the truck.

Sorry if I missed the update somewhere else, was the dealer able to figure out what happened?

Unfortunately no. The dealer blamed it on an OBD device I have in my truck (lowers my Registration fees in my state). That 99% isn't the case though or there are bugger issues.

I think they may pull one of my modules and send it back to the mothership for analysis.

Ya the only thing I could see the OBD device complicate is unintended LVB drain. But since the truck was on, that shouldn't be a problem. Really wish people wouldn't be so afraid to just say "I don't know" instead of feeding us clear BS.

I've had this error message appear twice. Once when I was futzing around with the fuse to reset the modem. This was resolved by pulling the neutral on the battery and resetting the system.

The 2nd time was when my Tesla Wall Charger and TeslaTap Mini put the truck in a funny charging state and nothing would clear it. I eventually plugged in my Ford Mobile Charger and it reset things and the truck started working again.

Am I the only one who hasn't pulled any fuses? It seems like a lot of DIY fixes may in fact be causing other issues, I don't want to mess with anything on my truck at all.
