Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power in PowerBoost

[TinBender]

Thought I would post this here as well as the PB thread.

Not even a 1K miles in and I go to start my truck after dropping off my daughter at school to see a Service Soon notification on the dash and the little wrench illuminated. After checking FordPass it appears more serious than I originally thought. Called the dealer to be told there is a 3 month wait for walk-ins and a 6 month wait for scheduled service for a transmission. Luckily they connected me to their sister location 40 miles away who can get me in 2 weeks from now, but it will still have to sit there 10 days before they apparently look at it. I'm guessing that initial appointment is just an intake appointment with the service advisor. I did have a quick opportunity to talk to a Service Advisor who was able to provide more detail. Apparently the truck through the following code: P0929.

I did a quick search and it does appear this has happened to a few people, but the cause and fix seems to vary. Pretty frustrated to have to take a brand new truck in maintenance. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Additional details:

• Truck still runs great
• No issues shifting between gears
• No weird or loud sounds from the truck
• Still getting good gas mileage and hybrid is still functional

Good morning! If you send over your VIN and Ford dealer info, I can assist with your powertrain concern.

I jumped in the truck this morning and magically the notification message in the center of the dash and the wrench icon have completely gone away. FordPass is also no longer showing an alert. The only thing I did was ensure all the fuses were fully seated on Wednesday morning. Not sure why it took almost 48 hours for that to register and clear the notification (if it is indeed the culprit). I'm just going to watch it and hope it doesn't come back.

Had the same wrench/alert. Only 24k km. Brought it in to the dealer I bought it at. Was told an integrated belt for some starter. Part ordered and work happening soon. Some trips the electric/hybrid works great. Same day different trip it dosent work as good. Gas mileage goes up
