Ford Edge Fault Memory Lock Active

I have a 2013 Ford Edge with a gasoline engine. The computer system is showing a 'Fault memory lock active' message. The only symptom I've noticed is an error stored in the error memory during ECU diagnostics. My scanner suggests undervoltage might be the cause. Has anyone encountered this?

Hey, I've got an Edge too, and I saw something similar a while back. Was your battery acting up at all before this happened? Low voltage can throw all sorts of weird codes in these cars. I'd start by checking the battery's health and the alternator output.

Thanks for the quick response. I haven't noticed any battery issues specifically. How long ago did you experience this, and did it cause any driveability problems beyond the error code?

It was maybe six months ago, give or take. And no, the car drove perfectly fine, which made it even more confusing! But the error kept popping up. Eventually, I took it to a workshop. They said the undervoltage had messed with the control unit and they reset something. I'd suggest getting it properly diagnosed; could save you a headache.

Appreciate the advice! I took it to a workshop as suggested, and it turned out to be a glitch caused by a voltage dip. They reset the control unit and charged me 240€.
