New 2022 Tremor - Won’t start, multiple errors

[Dapper247]

Well. Truck is back at dealership again. See how long this time. It’s sad how much we pay to have our trucks just sit in the service department.

Sadly, I’m regretting trading in my Jeep at this point.

got the truck back today with a new battery. Got it home, parked in the driveway. 2 hours later. Same issue. Multiple errors, wouldn’t start. Sigh…here we go again.

Try the sequence to reset the BMS talked about in the posted video. Key on/button on (don't start the truck); flash the brights 5 times, then step/release the breaks 3 times; wait for the battery warning to flash. This signals the reset of the BMS system according to Ford Boss Me video.

Copy. If I still have issues after dealership this time. I will try that. Thank you!

A few of the errors as reported in the ford pass app

New dealer, much better customer service. Diagnosed it in 24 hours. Bad gateway module is the diagnosis.

The gateway module is similar to what a multi-medium router/switch is in a data closet. So it does make sense that a malfunctioning one would result in the disruption of communications between multiple modules on the various networks in the truck.

I'm surprised that the first dealership wouldn't have immediately seen the vast number of DTC's that would throw as soon as they ran the network scan in FDRS.

I’m disappointed it took going to a different dealer to get it properly diagnosed. However, I’m just happy it is getting, or will get fixed once the part is off backorder.

Thank you all for the conversation while on this journey.

Weekly Update : Still no ETA. Truck still sits in driveway.

Still sits in driveway. I have been provided a Chevy blazer as my rental. At least it starts.

I do have a question for the forum, hoping anyone has an idea or help.

I’ve noticed a few things, and wanted to see if this changes any of the diagnostics. Anytime the tailgate does not function with the remote or manual button in the tailgate, it’s the same time the truck won’t start. It just beeps 3 times. However, IF it functions it also means the truck will start.

The bundles of connectors behind the glovebox. Is there one I should focus on to troubleshoot.

Since my truck sits in my driveway waiting for the gateway module, I can take a look at things that the service department may have missed.

The other item to note is that everything else always works, doors unlock, radio works, interior lights, exterior lights etc etc. The issues seem to be tailgate won’t respond and starting won’t respond as seen in the videos posted. Strange that it would be a gateway module if it isn’t ALL systems.
