I have a 2013 C-Max Energi with 110,00 miles. The last couple of years, and last 20,00 miles or so the Brake System Warning box pops up along with the small red Brake light on the dash and a warning sound. I push OK to the box and it goes away leaving the small red light still on. Brakes seemed to be working perfectly though. After a few miles down the road the small red light will go out, and this scenario my not happen for another thousand miles, but will eventually happen again, with same scenario. But the other day after a no event drive of about 20 miles, I parked for about an hour and when I turned the ignition on I heard a growling noise from under the hood and both brake warnings came on again. When backing out slowly and lightly touching the brakes they seem to grab as if brakes were engaging intermittently. The car seemed to drive fine at normal speeds, and brake fine till car came to almost stop then brakes grabbing again. Have been driving the car for about 10 trips now and sometimes everything is ok, but mostly warnings lights on and brakes grabbing and making growling noise. Brakes and rotors look almost new though original. When Parked and pressing brake I hear growling sound, let off brake and sound goes away till I press on the brake again. Pulled a code of C0022-1 from a generic code reader, and pulled a code of C0022:01-28 from Android ForScan Lite. Brake fluid is full, but color is a slightly cloudy yellow. To my knowledge the fluid has never been flushed of changed. Could that be the problem: Thank you so much!

cr08, Thank you, you were 100% right! The dealer cleared the fault codes and the car started ok, found the APIM was bad and replaced it. $1447.00 total. The APIM was no longer under warranty. I have learned my lesson and purchased the VXDIAG-NANO and will do all future diognostics and repairs myself! Thank you everyone who helped me with suggestions

Update: my car has been at the ford dealership 3 weeks now and they still can't figure out what is wrong. I am beginning to think my next move is to pay the ransom money they will charge me for what they have done so far and just have it towed home. I am putting together a laptop computer with vxdiag-nano adapter, and trying to find the free or low cost ford ids software to run on it. And with the help I might find here on this forum try to fix it myself. I appreciate any help I can get!

Thank you so very much for that info! But why do you the car reports all those errors and wil not start even after charging battery fully?

servicesd.exe, and car will not start Sequence of events, While driving the main touch screen display and all display lights flickered and flickered momentarily, radio went dead then went back to normal. It repeated this a few more times in a 15 minute time span, I continue driving and got home okay and shut the car off. The next morning the battery was dead, I charged it and it drove fine that day, but the next morning the battery was dead again. I replaced the battery with a high quality Odyssey battery and the car drove and performed fine no problems for about 2 weeks. Then one day while driving the main touch sync screen went black and radio went dead, then began to display the message (performing scheduled system maintenance, then reads application servicesd.exe encountered an error and must be shut down) then going black again and repeating with the same message over and over. I made one stop at the store before I went home, got back in the car, car started but the screen continue the same boot loop. I got home and turned car off turned it back on same problem. I decided to disconnect the main battery for 15 minutes in order to see if it reset the problem. When I connected the battery backup I got the following messages and the car would not start. Service advance trac Check park aid Low engine oil pressure engine coolant over temperature Tire pressure monitor fault Service Tire Mobility kit And the touchscreen continues the reboot loop (Sync performing scheduled system maintenance with servicesd.exe error) I attempted the disconnect battery routine again to see if it helped and it didn't, exact same thing reoccurs, and car will not start. The car was towed to the Ford dealer and I was given a $175 starting estimate diagnostic fee. Later that day the dealer informed me the estimate is now $675 for further diagnostics and they required me to buy a Ford battery before they begin. Any ideas? Thanks! 2013 c-max Energi VIN Number: 1FADP5CU0DL537888

I said ok being that they would not continue if I did not. Any ideas? Thanks! 2013 c-max Energi VIN Number: 1FADP5CU0DL537888
