Powerboost: Check Engine Light - code? on at 1,047 miles :(

[F150RLA]

What should I do when I see an engine code at 1,047 miles.

Is this the new norm these days for a $75,000 truck? sigh

unless you have a scantool to read codes (and even if you do have the tool) take it to your local dealer to have it diagnosed and repaired this should be covered under the new car warranty. no its not normal to get a check engine code on a new truck but it does happen and thats why they come with a warranty.

Understood. Thank you.

Depends on the code.
On these trucks a low battery could cause a CEL

Hard to understand why it'd be a low battery just over 1000 miles.
But I'm taking into the shop 30 min away tomorrow afternoon.
Thank you.

Just wait it only gets worse.

I'm guessing you have/had not such a good experience thus far?

No offense intended, but you have a new truck and you are new to the forum.

A few days/weeks of both and I suspect a low battery state of charge on a new truck won't seem so unusual at all.

None taken, thanks for the heads up. I'm praying for the best.

Depending on how long your truck sat in the field waiting for it to be fully built, the battery could be the link.
The quality for newer vehicles hasn’t been the same since covid

I'm going through the same and other problems too. For the battery problem Google door alignment, one of my doors doesn't close right so the door sensor stays on and drains the battery. Already had a battery replaced once because it was damaged because of the draining. The dealer is waiting for parts to, hopefully fix it, but they think it's the front right door. But the rear right door is the one that has the closing issue. Try slamming all your doors at the end of the day. Buy a scanner also and you can always know what the code is the truck is giving you. The OBDLink MX+ is a great scanner.

I dropped off my truck today at the dealer and they provided a loaner so I'm happy about they stepped up and provided a loaner. I'll report back what they come up with.

Any update? Curious what the issue was.
