In connection with having my module replaced, saw a screen capture of what’s available to the tech’s at dealership. It’s as detailed and comprehensive as I could imagine. And that’s the detail also being monitored remotely by Ford - that’s how they knew to contact me for a module replacement.Yup. On my Lightning. The battery health reading is not available through the normal interface. I got it through ODB II.
One could of course go full conjecture and say that “Ford” will avoid warranty claims by service techs simply lying about their diagnostic outcomes.
Doesn’t seem a new worry, regarding the possibility that untrustworthy service techs exist. I desire to find and trust good techs, not bad ones, ICE or otherwise.
My ICE truck didn’t have an any more detailed readout for ‘deep’ engine performance.
Not my truck’s details, but same presentation and artifact of what was seen in mine:
Just before the warranty period is up, I’d plan to go ask for this sort of health report. That said, I’ve not owned a vehicle for 8 years, ever.
