Hi everyone, I’m new to this form. I owned my 2021 F150 STX. FX4, coyote for about three years I bought it with 40,000 K has 140 K on it now truck runs and drives great I just got this warning on my info screen, I did everything to reset Truck, took battery off, turn key to accessory on, five times high beams, three time breaks, used OBD to reset comes back on every time I put the truck in gear ? My gear shifter is wobbly and was trying to put up a video, but it won’t let me. Didn’t know if that might be the problem ? Also I have this code U025300 but this been going on for a while, can’t access my settings ? I put a refurbished battery in it last year and I’m not sure if it’s been going on since then, but that battery turned out to be bad so I put another refurbished battery and that one was bad too, so now I have a new battery but everything is still the same way even though I did a BMS reset ? Please help!!!

 

Do you have the center console fold down shifter? That’s a common failure item that would cause this.

The code you post I think has to do with the APIM, which is related to your Sync system screen, losing comms. Unrelated to your shift issue, AFAIK.

 

None of the STX models will have a console shifter.

 

Hi, John thanks for reply, yes center console but no shifter. Sync, CarPlay, screen, etc.. is all working fine!

 

Maybe your column shifter has a loose screw or two. Here’s a link. Maybe your shift problem goes away once those are tightened.

Thanks, i’ll give it a try today and reply back either way

 

So I removed the steering wheel column and one bolts was is gone and the other one was barely hanging on, tighten the one, couldn’t find the other, put it back together, shifter is tight now.
so started the truck put it in reverse to back out of my driveway, shifter system fault light came on. I put it back in park. Use my OBD.
shut it off and then took the truck for a drive around and on the freeway for about 15 minutes bring it back put it in park, warning light came on again. I’m going to disconnect the battery for a couple hours and then try again. I will keep everyone updated. 🤞🏻

 

Just wanted to update, disconnected the battery for two hours still have warning light, also did the BMS reset still no good ?

 

Sorry you’re still having the issue. I don’t have any other ideas.

 

If the truck is connected to the Ford app, message me the VIN so I can pull the codes.
