In some trucks, battery monitoring sensors are installed on the negative terminal to monitor voltage and temperature. As a result, your battery does not fully charge when you take short trips, affecting its lifespan. If your truck stays in the garage for an extended time without turning on the engine, the battery starts to drain. The batteries do not last for many years as they need to be replaced when they cause problems in starting the vehicle. It means the battery is worn out and not charging it properly. The screen of the Ford shows a message to shut down the system to prevent damage. Your vehicle battery needs replacement when it shows signs like increased jumps starts, backfiring, dim headlights, and cranking.

After three to four years of usage, the battery life ends, and it needs replacement.įor avoiding such problems, make sure that the headlights and interior lights are off. The problem is that your battery does not give enough charge to start the engine in the first crank. Your vehicle battery is getting old when it takes more crank to start the engine and not keep the amount of charge required. You can prevent this by protecting the fuses, wiring, electrolytes level, and checking loose connections. If the truck battery is low, it results in shutting down the system due to less supply of power.īut if you keep on starting the engine with a low battery, it may reduce the efficiency of the pickup by failing the system completely. I parked my truck with headlights on, and it fails to start the engine due to battery draining. If your Ford takes too much time to start and the sound diminishes, your battery fails due to bad conditions. The vehicle screen shows a sign to turn off the system as the voltage of the battery drops.
