MFT Performing Scheduled Maintenance Again...

[TinMan4154]

Was driving and on a call connected through MFT when my screen went black and cut my call off. Stayed black for a couple of minutes before restarting and giving me the Performing Scheduled Maintenance black screen. This is the second time I have had this happen and I have only had the vehicle 2 months. I took it to the dealer and they advised me they couldn't find any errors and if it happened again just bring it back. Anyone else with the 2016s have this problem or do I have a new APIM in my future?

Looks like this guy had the exact same thing happen to him in 2013:

Why oh why are we still dealing with this crappy system... I only pray Ford offers SYNC 3 soon.

Hi TinMan4154,

Try performing a master reset. Generally, that reboot is an indication of SYNC trying to resolve an issue.

You can find the steps here:

Thanks Whitney. I just did that so we will see how that goes. I was surprised that the reset didn't erase my radio stations. Hope this fixed whatever it's issue was...
