Electrical System Overvoltage message

[Erian Boroleos]

Checking here before taking this to the dealership. this morning I started my 21 Transit and a few minutes later Electrical System Overvoltage, Stop Safely appeared.
worried about driving this as it may cause more damage. Anyone else had the same issue? is this safe to drive?

If the system is overflowed it's not safe to drive. Probably the alternator is overcharging and if you drive it you can mess up with the electronics or even cause a fire. It's best for a professional to take a look at it.

i unfortunately got the same warning on my 2024. did you manage to figure out yours already? how to bypass this? i tried tightening the battery terminals before checking here but then again... it's still there. need to fix this asap, i have a vacay planned over the weekend.

I'd try to clean and tighten the battery terminals as first aid.

I agree with this. Don't do that to your car, OP. Get it to your specialist NOW.
