2016 Ford Explorer Sport drive modes

Hi, Has anyone had a problem with all the drive modes shutting off when starting the vehicle? Is it a sensor? Any information is appreciated.

Welcome to the Forum.
Are you referring to the light on the TMS dial or the mode display on the dash or both? Is everything okay after startup? If it is the TMS switch/dial and it remains OFF, have you checked the fuse?

Hi, Thanks. It all goes off on the dash. Starts up fine and it's drivable. When the the lights are on the dash the steering is stiff. That's about it. Sometimes the lights stay on, sometimes they go off and everything goes back to normal.

I'm not sure what lights on the dash you are talking about.

The warning lights that all the drive modes are disabled. Hill assist, park assist etc......

Okay, now I see. Those aren't specifically "drive modes". That is what threw me off. The items on the dash should light up as a check to see that they are functioning. After the vehicle has started, they should all turn OFF. That is normal. If they stay ON after the vehicle is running, then there is an issue. If that is the case, you should check to see if any trouble codes were stored.
