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.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
