Going to add my .02 - in my 2024 Flash; it doesn't always behave the exact same however since one of those updates, the truck
- changes back to Sport Mode for 10-70ish seconds upon the "Return to Sport/WW4482" message (yes, mine literally says "WW4482?" about half of the time instead of "Return to Sport?")
- then seems to revert back to Normal somewhere between the 10-70ish second mark. After you change it back to Sport after experiencing this, the truck seems to remain in Sport MOST of the time, but not all.

For clarity- I have always experienced the "WW4482" messages - that wasn't something newly introduced with these recent updates

Return to Sport mode question pops up as usual when booting up my 24 Flash and I select YES. When I go to look it's still in Normal mode. I then switch it to Sport and I'm good until the next boot cycle.

Worked fine until the last update of 25.2.8.5.

Anyone else notice this recently that uses Sport mode?
I had the same problem. I did a reboot and it appears to be switching again. Another thing I noticed after the recent UPDATES, traction control wasn't working. It was kind of fun being able to spin all 4 tires.

Interesting. A sync reboot or a LV batt disconnect?

I'm going to try sync first because it's fast and easy. The battery disconnect reset method if sync doesn't help.

This would explain why they haven't fixed it yet 😂
I knew it was working previously, was starting to think I was crazy.

So I did sync reset after work, switched to sport mode, then shut it off, back on, hit return to sport, and it worked...at least the first time. I'll check it again tomorrow to see if it's still good.

Bad news, for me at least, not working today. I got one successful cycle out of it.

I just noticed today, I got the popup to return to sport, you can see the gauges change to white, then approximately after the timer would've elapsed, it switched back to normal. Brian @Ford Motor Company you may want to give that information to the programming team.
Team is looking into it!
