I’ll be honest, never been good with these wiring diagrams.

The proximity pilot signal is the common between both systems (AC and DC charging). A loss of that signal wont allow you to charge any way, so I suspect that perhaps that signal isnt reaching the SOBDM or for whatever reason the SOBDM isnt acting on the signal. The dealer might throw a SOBDM on it and see what happens. By default, they should run continuity checks between the charge port and SOBDM.

I had to lookup what this was. So just sharing for future reference for others looking at this thread later on:

To break this down a bit further, the SOBDM disburses a digital signal to all the other modules letting them know "Hey, im plugged in and going to charge, lets get ready for it." The opposite is also true "Hey, I was charging but now they've requested to stop." It knows this based on the pilot signal initiated by the charger when you plug in.

Please, please. If you're going to show us a screen on your computer or tablet, use a screen capture and not a photo of the screen. Massively easier to read.

Just dropped off at Ford. Did not charge there. Thank you all so much for everyone’s input & help 🙏 😀 Once I receive an update from Ford, I’ll update y’all.
