Default Low battery and gas refuel

I'm still,having low battery warning messages after disconnecting the battery ground. Wondering if I disconnected it long enough? Would a low battery somehow affect cars ability to allow refueling? After using four different pumps at the station I regularly use (non- ethonal) I gave up. Drove the car about 4 miles and refueled with no issue. First station did say they were having some issues, but I used a pump right after another customer successfully refueled.

I can't see any relation between low battery and refueling. I suspect the station was indeed having problems and the car before you was just far less sensitive to it than the F.

Disconnecting the battery resets the module, but if the battery is actually low you'll need to get it fully charged before that warning will go away. Did you put it on a charger or go for a reasonably long drive afterwards?

Maybe your battery is actually low (failing). Mine needed to be replaced just after the two year point, at 18K miles.

Did it get replaced under warranty?

Yes, covered under warranty. I actually went in with a different complaint: intermittent Adaptive Dynamics fault, Auto Start/Stop not working. They called it as the battery, and the problems went away.
