Generally, you do not want to reset the BMS unless the battery has been replaced. However, your battery is newer, so it would not hurt to reset the BMS.

The transmission must be warmed to operating temperature. Confirm the temperature with a scan tool. The vehicle must be level. Use the transmission leveling plug on the side of the vehicle. Change every 30k miles. The owners manual shows intervals. Yes, there is a drain plug, fill plug (the rubber vent that you removed), and a leveling plug. There is no specific quantity. You must overfill the transmission, then use the leveling plug to drain excess fluid. Mercon ULV / Valvoline Mercon ULV equivalent. Do not use anything else, such as Mercon V or LV. There is no transmission dipstick. DO NOT insert anything into the transmission other than the fluid. See these threads:

If is on the lower right side.

The BMS will get disabled when you turn auto stop start off in FORScan.

Good news, they are gone!!

Male sure the vehicle is upgraded to the latest version of SYNC 4 BEFORE you purchase it. There were many weird bugs and issues with SYNC 4, but most of them have been resolved with software updates. The latest version: https://www.fordservicecontent.com/ford_content/pdf/tsb/SYNC4LatestLevelSummary.pdf

If you connect your phone to your vehicle using only a wired connection, such as using USB wired CarPlay or Android Auto, 911 assist will not work if Bluetooth is disabled on your phone! Instead, the system will search for another previously paired phone in the vehicle, and if it successfully connects, it will place the call through that phone. Do not disable Bluetooth on your phone. Before using CarPlay or Android Auto, ensure your phone is paired to the vehicle with Bluetooth. What is 911 Assist? 911 Assist is a SYNC system feature that can call for help. HOW DOES 911 ASSIST WORK? If a crash deploys an airbag, excluding knee airbags and rear inflatable seatbelts, or activates the fuel pump shut-off, your vehicle may be able to contact emergency services by dialing 911 through a paired and connected Bluetooth enabled phone. Not all crashes deploy an airbag or activate the fuel pump shut-off. If a connected cell phone sustains damage or loses its connection to SYNC during a crash, SYNC searches for and tries to connect to a previously paired cell phone. SYNC then attempts to call the emergency services. Before making the call: SYNC provides about 10 seconds to cancel the call. If you fail to cancel the call, SYNC attempts to dial 911. SYNC says the following, or a similar message: SYNC will attempt to call 911, to cancel the call, press Cancel on your screen or press and hold the phone button on your steering wheel. If you do not cancel the call and SYNC makes a successful call a pre-recorded message plays for the 911 operator. The occupants in your vehicle are able to talk with the operator. Be prepared to provide your name, phone number and location immediately because not all 911 systems are capable of receiving this information electronically. During an emergency call the system transmits vehicle data to the emergency service. SYNC must be powered and working properly at the time of the incident and throughout feature activation and use. The 911 Assist feature must be set on before the incident. You must pair and connect a Bluetooth enabled and compatible cell phone to SYNC. A connected Bluetooth enabled phone must have the ability to make and maintain an outgoing call at the time of the incident. A connected Bluetooth enabled phone must have adequate network coverage, battery power and signal strength. The vehicle must have battery power and be located in the U.S., Canada or in a territory in which 911 is the emergency number. Note: If any user sets 911 Assist to on or off, that setting applies for all paired phones. If 911 Assist is switched off and the phone is connected to SYNC, an icon displays on the status bar. Note: Every phone operates differently. While SYNC 911 Assist works with most cellular phones, some may have trouble using this feature. EMERGENCY CALL LIMITATIONS The SYNC 911 Assist feature only operates in the U.S., Canada or in a territory in which 911 is the emergency number. Your cellular phone or 911 Assist hardware sustains damage in a crash. The vehicle's battery or the SYNC system has no power. The phone(s) thrown from your vehicle are the ones paired and connected to the system.

Nice. One thing I recommend is that you probably have software updates for the transmission and AWD module.

Yes, simply copy the AsBuilt data of the entire FCIM.

I notice this on my Edge sometimes. It usually happens when exiting parking spots. In the past, I never really noticed it too much, but maybe it is becoming more common. I will have to do the AWD software update, and I also need to change the PTU and RDU fluid.

Do you notice any white smoke? It is possible that there could be coolant intrusion.

If you decide to get a new or used FCIM, just remember that it will need to be programed in.

Yep, looks like yours is older. That is for the newer radios.

See the images in my previous post: https://www.fordedgeforum.com/topic/31501-transmission-flush-or-simple-drain-and-fill/?do=findComment&comment=237850 I tried what you did, to fill the transmission up through the vent hole. However, the fluid was going in extremely slowly and it even overflowed out! So I had to remove the cap piece using pliers. But I had to rotate the metal snap ring around and remove a few things that were close by. It took me a little while to get it off.
