PowerTrain warning light
Hey all- anyone have any experience with, or ideas on this?
I have a stock 17 Raptor, 33k miles I bought a few months ago. I had the cam phasers replaced immediately after purchasing under warranty. Within days after the repair, on cold start I received the "See manual" warning light with a wrench on the center console. My Ford Pass app says it's a 'Powertain Malfunction/Reduced Power" and "see your dealer". This occurrs about 75% of the time on cold start and when it does come on, it'll remain until the truck is powered off. When it's restarted, it clears out and generally doesn't come back on, nor does it happen after multiple start/stops. it doesn't appear to be having any significant effect on the trucks performance, although it seems a litttle sluggish and/or hesitant at times, but I'm not sure it thats just the crappy 10-speed or if it's related to the error message.
I've taken it to my local Ford dealer numerous times, usually they say they can't replicate it, so I've brought it directly to them twice now WITH the light on and running- they claim to have hooked it up to all their reader software with no results. They claim that even though they SEE the error code and it registers remotely to my Ford app; they're not seeing any errors in the truck itself. They claim to have downloaded the info and sent it to Ford for further diagnosis, but that was almost a month ago and they claim to have received no response as of yet.
I took the truck to Autozone with the light on to see if they could read anything on their scanners, and they had nothing either.
Each time I take it to my Ford dealer they roll their eyes and say they'll look into it, and it sits for a week or more untouched before they spend 30 minutes trying to diagnose it then tell me there's nothing wrong. It's been in at least 5 times for this same issue in the past 3-4 months and I'm really sick of leaving it with them and getting no results. I've spoken to everyone there ncluding the service manager, and they have no answers for me.
Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? I have an extended warranty, but it seems to be doing me no good as this light keeps popping up. I can only assume it's something that happened during the cam phaser replacement, since it didn't happen prior, but I'll never get my dealership to admitt they screwed spomething up; so I'm running out of ideas...
