Dreaded Service Vehicle Soon Error

[Zprime29]

I seen the Shifter issues some were having, and played with mine a little. I don't think it's that since it wont charge. I had someone on here run the VIN and its throwing P0B24:21 "EV Battery "A" Voltage Unstable: Signal Amplitude Less Than Minimum"

I do have another charger but haven't tried it. Been a little under the weather today, but I will try it later. I appreciate it the help.

I was referring to the onboard charger, not your EVSE. With that code, I don't think the onboard charger is the issue anymore. That duck is quacking like a bad battery module.

I'd call the BEV hotline and start a case number before you take it in. Might help get things rolling quicker.

Ahh gotcha. I'm still hopeful its just something minor but realistically I know its not. Too many instances of this happening. I did send Ford a message on here and they made note of it, but I don't have case number yet.

This week was my week for this issue as well.

Had the truck in for 30k service and tires last Monday. When I got it back my range was low, but I never trust the estimated range anymore anyway...

Thursday I drove it 180 miles. I told it to charge to 100%, and had set a departure time. When the time arrived it was only at 98%, which was weird. And it seemed like I had no - or significantly reduced - regen braking. I ended the trip below 30% charge, which is way worse than usual... I thought it was the tires? Then it failed to charge overnight. It said it was a charging station fault (Using the Ford Charging Station Pro). I had to stay home because I didn't have enough charge to get to work Friday, but it did charge to 80% (my set limit) during the day.

On Saturday I needed to make the same 180 mile trip, so I set it to charge to 100% again. It only made it to 87%. Then the light came on. Dealer hasn't had time to look at it yet. And I'm not sure what I'm going to do without a truck for more than a couple days. -sigh-

I can't charge at all. Are you getting reduced power as well?

Also, I've seen some say Ford BEV paid for a lot of people to have a rental if it gets to that point for you.

Yes.

When the error first came up it didn't show reduced power (or I didn't notice?), but after a few miles it dropped down to 59%, and then on the way to the dealer 56%.

I had the power reduction issue happen once during the summer at full charge, but without the error message and the wrench icon. I took it in, but it didn't happen for them, and I've been driving it since without issue until now.

Mine started at 54% and is at 57% reduced power right now. Both motors show they have power and it drives fine, but without being able to charge I had to stop driving it when It hit 62%. Dealership is 40 miles away so I didn't want it to get too low. Good luck getting yours fixed!

Good luck with yours as well!

Hopefully the parts are flowing faster these days...
