Hi I'm Bart. I'll be helping you today. The service advance track is an indicator there is a trouble code setting in the powertrain control module. Have you scanned the truck for codes?

No
Automotive Expert
That's where we need to start here. This could be a bad [starter](/topics-starter-ford/). There is usually a code associated with that failure. Furthermore, you can test the starter solenoid positive wire using a test lamp or meter to confirm the starter is bad.

Did check the starter it's OK
