Keep getting this error message. I've read online what it's and that "it should be covered by warranty" but I'm passed warranty?

I'm outside of the warranty already so how bad will a dealership treat me for it

If it's out of warranty, don't take it to the dealer, unless you just don't like money

I just removed mine.

Will be putting the Tremor front valance on mine soon.

I'll cut the wire before spending a bunch of money on something stupid. I called and Ford said it " activates depending on engine temperature for cooling purposes."

How do you delete it so you don't keep getting the error code?

I just unbolted the screws for the dam and removed it.
The motors are still there. So I have no fault codes.

The dam fault shows when the dam gets jammed up due to road debris or too much wind bending it.

Just remove it, takes like 30 minutes max.

This is wrong

You have active air shutters behind the grille. Which help with warm up and regulating temps.

The active air dam is behind the bumper lower valance. And helps get 0.00000059 better MPG and that's what is giving you faults. I have mine removed on both my 22 and 23. Zero issues.

Ok removed the air dam and left the motors. Still got the faults. Just removed both motors. I'm wrapping the connectors in tape. Hope that does it.

Near bottom of second page is some discussion on a config for Forscan to disable the airdam and prevent codes once the motors are unplugged/removed

No "ding nannies" since I removed them. Guess I'm in the clear with them just being unplugged.
Comeby!

Still no errors? Having the same issue. Removed the dam, left the motors. Getting ding errors.

I've been noticing this error as well recently. Seems to only happen when cold in the 20s. Just figured it was cause it was freezing up. Still under extended warranty so I'll take it in. Also for about 3 or 4 days driver window would automatically go back down when I was using the auto roll up button. Had to hold the button to get the window to stay up when rolling back up.
