Has anyone seen this before? and if so why it would appear? It happened after I hit the stop button after my normal morning commute. I started the truck right away and stopped it and it popped up again.

I use PAAK and keep a Fob in a Faraday bag in my truck.

At that moment, the PAAK signal wasn't detected.

I've seen this show when I have used my password to start the truck while FOB & PAAK device were in the house far from the truck, once you initiate an unlock & run, but "accidently" shut down you have a very brief time frame to restart or you'll need to go through password again.

I think if you open the door she goes into lockdown again.

Is it possible you're getting a spontaneous update right now?
Is the phone getting a Fordpass update right then?

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Thanks about the detail. The message was fairly clear, just odd it appeared now as it is the same exact process I go through every day. Only thing odd about today is the stupid snow storm! So as you said, it must just be something flaky with the phone connection for PAAK then.

I updated to 5.8.2 yesterday I believe, so not that.
Not sure if the truck would have been mid update or not. No way to really identify that from what I am aware of.
