Hello everyone, I just replaced the original battery in my 2016 Fiesta ST. I know on most Ford vehicles they need a battery monitoring reset. Does anyone know if this needs to be done? And if so do you have the steps to do it? Thanks!

I replaced the original battery on my '15 about a month ago and didn't do anything at all besides swapping the battery. I don't think you need to do anything else.

I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a BMS reset procedure. I followed the steps in this video, and it worked with my Fiesta.

---> Turn the ignition on, but don't start the engine

---> Turn the headlights on

---> Pull the high beam stalk five times in a row (not by blipping it - you must fully engage it making sure the blue high beam indicator is turning on and off)

---> Depress the brake pedal three times in a row

---> Finally, watch the battery indicator blink three times indicating that the BMS successfully has been reset.

For those doing the battery monitoring system reset, once you've done it the battery / charging system warning light on the dash is supposed to blink and then go out. Here's a picture of it so people will know where it is and what it looks like. These warning lights come on briefly on startup and then turn off after about a second. PXL_20240222_174501873.jpg
