Ford P0B24
Contact the TAC for diagnostic support. NO - Proceed to Step 2. NOTE: Make sure that the FDRS release level is
Quick answer
For certain US Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles, P0B24 has been documented with a powertrain malfunction (wrench) indicator and may be related to Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) software level. Ford bulletin evidence directs technicians to use FDRS or a similar scan tool and contact the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) when P0B24 is present in the specified diagnostic context.

1. What does P0B24 mean?
For certain US Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles, P0B24 has been documented with a powertrain malfunction (wrench) indicator and may be related to Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) software level. Ford bulletin evidence directs technicians to use FDRS or a similar scan tool and contact the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) when P0B24 is present in the specified diagnostic context.
2. Technical explanation
Verified evidence identifies P0B24 as a DTC that may be stored in the BECM. Ford TSB 25-2414 states that listed vehicles may exhibit a powertrain malfunction (wrench) indicator with P0B24 stored in the BECM, potentially due to the BECM software level. A separate Ford communication, 23H06, instructs technicians using FDRS or a similar diagnostic scan tool to contact TAC if P0AA6, P0B24, and/or P0DE6 is present. The supplied evidence does not establish a generic component failure diagnosis for P0B24.
3. What system is affected?
Battery Energy Control Module (BECM), based on the verified TSB evidence.
4. How serious is this code?
Not yet established by verified evidence.
5. Symptoms you may notice
- A powertrain malfunction (wrench) indicator may be displayed.
- DTC P0B24 may be stored in the BECM.
6. Possible causes
- BECM software level may be involved, according to Ford TSB 25-2414 for the vehicles covered by that bulletin.
- Other causes are not yet established by verified evidence.
7. Can I still drive the vehicle?
Not yet established by verified evidence.
8. Can I charge the vehicle?
Not yet established by verified evidence.
9. What you can safely do
- Arrange diagnosis by a Ford dealer or qualified service facility.
- Provide the stored code P0B24 and note whether the powertrain malfunction (wrench) indicator is displayed.
- Do not attempt high-voltage battery or BECM repair work yourself.
10. Step-by-step troubleshooting
- A technician can check for DTCs using FDRS or a similar diagnostic scan tool, as stated in Ford communication 23H06.
- When P0B24 is present in the 23H06 diagnostic context, Ford instructs technicians to contact TAC for diagnostic support.
- Verify the applicable FDRS release level; the supplied 23H06 excerpt includes a note to ensure the FDRS release level is appropriate, but does not provide the required version.
11. When to contact service
Contact a Ford dealer or qualified service facility for diagnostic evaluation. Verified Ford communication 23H06 directs technicians to contact TAC when P0B24 is present in its specified diagnostic check.
12. What the service center may check
- Check for stored DTCs with FDRS or a similar diagnostic scan tool.
- Confirm whether P0B24 is stored in the BECM.
- Assess BECM software level where TSB 25-2414 applies.
- Contact Ford TAC when directed by the applicable diagnostic procedure.
13. Possible repair or resolution
- A confirmed repair procedure is not fully established by the supplied evidence.
- Ford TSB 25-2414 identifies BECM software level as a possible factor for covered vehicles; a service facility should determine whether the bulletin's procedure applies.
