What is the purpose of and how to reset the BMS of Ford?

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

The BMS of a Ford vehicle is the Battery Management System: an intelligent electronic system designed to monitor and control the vehicle's battery, particularly in newer models that include technologies such as auto start & stop and more sophisticated charging systems. Normally there is a sensor connected to the negative terminal of the battery, through which all services that are carried out with the BMS are performed; older models have the sensor wrapped around the cable. To reset it, there are two ways: the first is to turn the high beams on and off five times, then press the brake pedal all the way down three times and turn off and on the ignition. Or we can leave everything still and wait a few seconds without turning off the ignition, then look in the corner to see if the light has turned off.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
