Service Vehicle Soon Error After ECG2-25.2.8.5 Update

[explosive0]

I installed the ECG2-25.2.8.5 update yesterday. On our way out of town this evening, I stopped for a quick top-up at a DC fast charger. As soon as I plugged in, the truck threw a “Service Vehicle Soon” warning.

I tried the usual quick fix of disconnecting the 12V battery, but the message stayed. Luckily I still had enough range to drive all the way back home.

One thing that stood out: right after the update finished yesterday, the system clock was completely incorrect, and the whole update process seemed to complete unusually fast. Makes me think something didn’t install properly.

This is on a 2024 Lightning Platinum with around 8,000 miles. Planning to take it to the dealer first thing tomorrow.

I got the same thing I just got the update the other day. I woke up this morning. Could not remote start my truck for my phone it said on the app it was in battery saver mode. My truck did not charge the error light was on on my charger sometimes it does that. That chargers a piece of crap. And now it says service vehicle soon inside the vehicle. @Ford Motor Company

Hang in there, bud. Love my Lightning coming from a Tesla (and I owned 3 Teslas) but it gets tricky with service because you’re at the mercy of independent dealerships. Hopefully this doesn’t get drawn out. Just glad we could make it back home and didn’t get stuck in the middle of nowhere.

Dropped off at the dealership this morning. Of course no loaner and they’re not sure how long it’ll take to resolve - it could be days to weeks. @Ford Motor Company
