I have the standard Pro Power (2.4 kw) on my 2023 Pro SR. I have occasionally used it to power small tools and, in one case, provide back-up power to a small house. It is one of my favorite features on the Lightning.
Recently, I started the vehicle and received a series of alerts on the center screen that included notice of an open cover on my Pro Power in the frunk, and then an extended message about using PPO in the frunk. After that, there was an alert that PPO service was required (see images). This all occurred during start-up; I was NOT using PPO.
I checked the outlet cover; it was closed. I opened and closed it to be sure. I still received the alerts on start-up.
Has anyone else seen this combination of alerts? Obviously, at some point I need to take it into the dealer, but since I am now out of the bumper-to-bumper warranty (43K+ miles), I'd like to have some idea of what I'm dealing with before doing so.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
