Orange Wrench Service Soon but still full power

[306lightning]

Hey,

My 2024 Lightning XLT SR which has previously had a host of other issues threw me a new one today that I would like to seek the forums input on if I may.

Today when I started up the truck it brought up an orange wrench saying service soon and I got a notification in FordPass about Powertrain malfunction/4x4 issue, which I know from reading here has been an issue faced by some, but has everyone else had their power reduced? My power gauge is still at 100% (battery around 70%) and the truck functioned completely normal on the twenty minute highway-speed drive home.
Obviously concerning. Tried power cycling truck to see if it would go away but it did not.
Put it on the level 2 charger when I got home just now and it seems to be charging normally.
Any thoughts or anyone experienced anything similar?
Thanks in advance.

Glitch in the matrix ?

What & When was your last OTA ?

Some of us collect the notices like trading cards, but as long as the power stays at 100% (which mine always has) it's likely either the air dam sensor(s) or the shifter about to cause larger problems. During the middle of one of the below notices I started getting a clicking from the shifter handle, so I'm joining others in changing over to a rotary shifter as noted in other threads.

How do I find that out? Thanks for the reply.

Hey, thanks for getting back to me. Interesting. The dealership did mention the air dam code about ten issues ago, wonder if they actually addressed it, never mentioned it so probably not. What’s this about shifter causing larger problems? Supposed to go camping tomorrow taking the truck, nervous now of course. I’ll have to look into this rotary shifter more I guess. First I’ve heard of it.

Found it, 02/27/2025 was last update and it says Sync 4. Probably not OTA related than hey?

Followed the link in your signature, logged in and it said 02/27/2025 Sync 4, do I need to actually go in the truck for a more accurate one maybe?

Several owners have had issues with the shifter, below is the thread about the conversion to rotary knob....

No, FORDPASS can tell you what I'm asking

FordPass says the same Feb 27,2025 and ECG-24.2.5.7

The reason I'm asking is the immediate updates "like today" can cause temporary harmless false warnings

Go here and review any trends ECG-25.2.5.7.1 LVB Performance

Since that update was 3+ months ago, it's not likely the cause.............
