Charging system service now message

[timstrong20]

I just picked up my Wildtrak after 743 days of waiting. I just hit 300 miles and now I have a charging system service now pop up. I have an appt to drop it off Monday. My voltage screen is bouncing around. Any suggestions

Read the DTCs with an OBD-II reader and see what pops up. It you don't have one...check battery connections, check battery health, check voltage regulator, check alternator, etc.

Mine is in the shop right now looking at a charging problem. Nothing that they checked earlier found the culprit. Ford gave them three more items to test and they’re working on it now.
No obvious problems have shown themselves when driving it though.
Good luck

Thanks, I will check the battery connections, that will be the end of my skill set. Just wanted to seem if this was a common problem and what was the usual culprit.
Hell, I just took the top off

This happened to me as well. I tested the alternator, cleared codes, unhooked accessories (jb4, pedal commander, etc.) with no luck. I then re-enabled my start/stop feature in Forscan and the issue went away. So far me, the problem was much simpler. I want to disable it again using hex as-built codes instead to see if that matters. Hope this helps someone.

This isn’t common, but your not the first person I’ve heard say this.
