Happened to go look in the Ford Pass application and noticed a couple of new messages with the subject line of “Service Engine Soon Warning“ and an explanation that the engine control system had detected that the engine had taken too long to reach operating temperature along with a “what to do” of checking the coolant level (checked and was fine) and that I should take it in to have it looked at. No warning lights on the dash (not expected given the nature of the issue identified) and wouldn’t have known about it if I hadn’t been looking at something else in the Ford Pass application (would have expected something sent to my email address given the nature of the message). Seems like a strange message particularly since it’s summer and the engine should have no issues reaching operating temp given the outside air temps. The only issue I can think of from a slow warm up would be a possible hit on the fuel economy as opposed to an overheating message which would have more serious consequences. Has anyone else gotten a similar message?
