System Fault
Just wondering if there are any Ford Techs out there that could shed some light on this. A customer of mine sent me a photo of the information center on her escape. It just says system Fault. No warning lights on the dash, no symptoms just scares her. She will be coming later today for me to scan. Can anyone elaborate on this warning system. Service info that I have found is lacking. Thanks in advance.
This is the kind of thing that an owners manual is often perfect for. It won't help you diagnose the fault but will explain the scope of the warning. This appears to be on the entertainment screen. It is probably alerting you to a text message (or sometimes a warning light but you say there are none). Maybe she didn't look through the message center warnings (small LCD built into the IP)? You…

I asked her if she uses the bluetooth and so forth and she laughed at me. It seems that it is of little concern to her. I…
Hi Michael, Some how I was thinking vehicle information center and not the infotainment system. I think all manufacturers are suffering issues with these over blown juke box systems. Luckily these will not shut a vehicle down (yet).
Yep, someday you will not be able to operate a vehicle unless the infotainment center is tuned to the appropriate government mandated propaganda media center!
Which one? The Chinese, Russian, MSNBC or Fox one?
