Action
Message
Displays if the AWD system disables to protect itself. This
may occur if you operate the vehicle after installing the
compact spare tire, if the system is overheating or if there is
an issue with another vehicle system that prevents the AWD
system from operating. The AWD system resumes normal
operation and clears this message after you install the road
tire and you switch the ignition on and off, or after you allow
the system to cool. If this message remains on, have a quali-
fied technician service your vehicle to repair other vehicle
systems.
AWD OFF
Displays in conjunction with the Throttle Control/Transmis-
sion/AWD light when the AWD system is not operating prop-
erly. If the warning stays on or continues to come on, contact
your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Check AWD
Displays when the AWD system needs its power transfer unit
lubrication changed. This message may be set if a vehicle
experiences extended periods of extreme/severe duty cycle
driving. See your authorized dealer for service. (Taurus SHO

Action
Message
The charging system needs servicing. If the warning stays on
or continues to come on, contact an authorized dealer as soon
as possible.
Check Charging System
The battery management system detects an extended low
voltage condition. Your vehicle will disable various features
to help preserve the battery. Turn off as many of the electrical
loads as soon as possible to improve the system voltage.
Once the system voltage recovers, the disabled features will
operate as normal.
Low Battery Features
Temporarily Turned Off
The battery management system determines that the battery
is at a low state of charge. Switch the ignition off as soon as
possible to protect the battery. This message clears once you
start the vehicle and the battery state of charge has recovered.
Turning off unnecessary electrical loads allows faster battery
state-of-charge recovery.
