Hi All,
I'm very new to the world of diesel. Last week I purchased a 2009 F-250 6.4L pickup. It has 155,xxx miles on it. There is no tuner or modifications that I can see. It appears to be all stock.
We made the purchase from a small dealer about 200 miles away. On the way home after driving for about 20 minutes I noticed a green wrench had lit up. We checked the manual and found it had gone in to limp mode. I could not notice any difference in the way the truck runs. Since then the truck goes into this mode after 20 minutes or so of constant driving.
We have done the following since bringing it home:
New oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filters, drained the water from the valve.
I have not seen any smoke from the tailpipe or any other issues. I know it has some oil leaking from somewhere on the bottom of the motor but it doesn't seem to be a lot. We have run it around 400 miles so far and nothing really seems to happen when the wrench comes on. Once the truck is turned off and restarted it goes away until it's run again.
I took it to O'Reilly and used their reader to find the following faults:
B1324 - Electronic Control Unit Malfunction
P012F - Something to do with coolant/oil temps
P2291 - Injector Control Pressure Too Low - Engine Cranking
I'm not at all mechanically inclined and this is my first diesel truck and my most expensive vehicle. I was hoping someone would point me in the right direction as to what to do next. I'm not a fan of my local Ford dealership but I will take it there if needed. I just don't want to blow something and destroy what I'd like to keep around for a long time. Any help is very appreciated.
