It's possible the truck saw some kind of fault. I would recommend taking it to your local Ford dealer or local shop that you trust.

Hey Gerardo,

Check out this thread - it leads to other threads but it might help you out…

These trucks behave strangely at times and often, nothing’s really wrong.

Unfortunately, this is one of those messages that could be a glitch and ignition cycle resets it, and the code is then cleared from the memory and freeze frame data.
If you are lucky it will remain as a historical code that can be pulled for review.
If not, then it needs scanned with the message present to actually see it.

If the code cleared you should be ok. But I’d grab an ODB2 reader and check it, they are cheap

prolly get one soon but today we again used it and it feels its really back to normal i guess i got lucky even the see manual logo never showed up again since then.. looks ok on power too but i have appoinmnt on march 6 on the dealership about somethjng else , i will definitely let them know about what happen too.. will make sure they will looking into that too.. fyi tomorrow we will begin our long drive back home will be running 110kmph for like 6-7 hours we will see if it will not appear again and loose some power..

6-7 hours at 110 km/hr? Gerardo, where are you travelling? Winnipeg to Calgary? Quebec City to Moncton? I’d be doing about 130 km/hr on those routes.

Good luck in your travels and keep an eye on that dash?

Just ran into this this afternoon. Hopped in the truck put the key in and everything lit up like normal but I got the "see manual" message and no crank or start. Tried opening the door and restarting but no joy. Pull my phone out of the wireless charger since a few years ago I noticed that would get me a "no key found" message.

Went into the house, got another key and it started. Shut it off and put the first key in and it started. Now that first key is actually an OEM replacement from that northern key place.

I guess I'll see if the OBD2 tool finds anything.

Unfortunately, my opinion, based on no facts here
I have had a few glitches, with all 3 of my rangers, first one had 40k acted twice like battery was disconnected, 2nd ranger, did the same once, then another time threw a bunch of traction control codes. All normal. Then my 2024, with 9k miles threw a fit about front camera and traction control, and brakes and tow backup not available and has been acting normal ever since.
Lots of software, i think like our phones and computers, does have a few glitches from time to time. ?
