Default Unavailable ABS, stability control, and emergency brake

Message coming up that ABS, stability control, and emergency brake are unavailable. I can still drive the car. I shut down the car and restarted to see if it would reset the system, but no it did not. Any easy checks before I make an appoint with the dealer (still under warranty)?

Messages of this sort and other random fault indicators are most often (almost unbelievably often) caused by a battery not fully charged because of lack of use or because the battery is aging and will not hold a charge. The very first thing you should do is to ensure that the battery is FULLY charged. You have not given any details about your F-Type but if it is a 2020 model the battery may be 4-5 years old and likely due for replacement. In that respect, please note that new batteries are almost NEVER fully charged at purchase/installation. the battery should therefore be charged before installing it in the car. The favoured battery minder for these cars is the CTEK (any CTEK) unit. The F-Type modules need full battery voltage for proper operation. When they do not have full voltage random fault codes and other symptoms are shown - symptoms that most often disappear after a battery charge.
You may have a different cause for the warnings showing, but verify the battery charge first.
