2024 Bronco Badlands - "Check Brake System" & "Charging System Service Now" errors

[toofresh]

I have a 2024 Bronco Badlands 2.7L with under 20k miles.
These two errors popped up on my dash yesterday.
Every dealership I speak to around me is 2 weeks - 2 months out unfortunately.

Anyone else ever run into these issues? What was the fix?

Many have had their OEM battery replaced under warranty. Check your battery voltage with the truck off...should be a minimum 12.5. A weak battery can throw all sorts of codes.

The Check Brake System or Park Brake Fault messages can be red herrings for a battery or alternator issue.

Any chance this could cause this issue?

I use a wolfbox pro dash cam - I currently leave it plugged into the USB that is up by the windshield. I leave it plugged in even after I park and turn off the car. This wouldn't by chance be killing my battery would it? I'm assuming the USB port auto turns off after so long of the car being off. I'll eventually hook up the wolfbox pro to the fuse like normal but for now I have just been using that USB plug.

The last couple times I drove it - I left it unplugged but still have the same error.

Probably not, the charging ports shut down.

By chance do you leave your FOB in the truck when parked? With the FOB in the truck a lot of things stay powered up longer than w/o the FOB.

I figured - thanks for the reply.
No, I don't - always take it with me.

First move IMO, get the battery tested. If you don't have a tester most auto parts stores can test it for you.

I had this. Put a charger on the battery for an afternoon. Codes went away and never came back.
