Resetting the BMS of the Ford F150

Model: Ford F-150 MK 14 - Years 2021-2026
Part: Battery

In this video, we see how, after replacing the battery of the Ford F150, it is good practice to reset the BMS system, which is responsible for monitoring the battery functions and warning us if there are any issues. To do this, we sit in the driver's seat, press the start button to turn on the instrument panel, use the lever to the left of the steering wheel to activate the high beams five times, and then press the brake pedal three times. After completing these operations, we will see the red battery light, to the right of the tachometer, flash three times, and at the end of the flashing the operation will be completed.
