Some 2022 Ford Maverick vehicles equipped with a 2.5L full-hybrid electric vehicle (FHEV) powertrain may exhibit a condition where the brakes grab during light braking at or below 6 mph. This may be due to the software in the ABS module.

Connect a battery charger, such as Rotunda GRX-3590 or DCA-8000, to the 12-volt battery. To prevent the battery saver mode from activating on the vehicle, make sure that the negative cable of the charger is installed on a chassis or engine ground, not on the 12-volt battery negative terminal. Do not have the vehicle plugged into a high-voltage battery charger during programming.

Reprogram the PCM using the latest software level. Check the availability for software updates for the ABS module, battery energy control module (BECM), and the secondary on-board diagnostic control module C (SOBDM-C), and update as required. Only update one module at a time.
