2023 Powerboost Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power

[Dresdie]

Not trying to get you to spend more money, but on the Gen14 platform, the latest Bluetooth OBD adapter is the OBDLink MX+
It's a bit pricey compared to some of the ELM's, but it includes the license for the Ford/Mercury/Lincoln package of Pids. And for a Powerboost, that's a really nice package!

Has great tools for customizing the gauges as well.

I'm a monitoring junky from the moment I purchased my first Ecoboost truck and started yanking an RV all over the country.

Haven't yet stressed this Powerboost over the Rocky Mountain passes yet, but I now have a good baseline for what a happy drivetrain will look like.

I use the OBDLink MX+ too. Works very well. So many things to monitor, I often don't know what I'm looking at. What app are you using there for guages? Looks more fancy than torque pro or OBDLink guages.

OBDLink app on Android.
Spent time in the "Style" tool in the gauge properties.

Looks like up next for my 2021 Ford F-150 Powerboost to get the wrench ?
POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTION /
REDUCED POWER

I have been reading around and not seeing much outside I will be wasting more time at dealership again. This will be the 4th time dealing with crap on this truck with only 4500 miles on it.

I have a 2020 F150 with 23,000 miles on it. It has already been to the shop twice for powertrain malfunction. I’ve been without my truck for over three months do the repairs. And the light just came on again today. What a joke.

So what were the previous procedures in response to the alert?
