@Livnitup No, I do not have an aftermarket front bumper, nor have I done anything that I am aware of that would block that sensor. The only things done to my truck are an aftermarket sound system (I'm guessing this is whats causing the speakers to throw "open circuit") and just last week having 285 65 20 ridge grapplers and a 1.25" ready lift leveling kit (puck style) installed. I went ahead and did some basic double honk after leaving cabin disable, bambi mode on monday night. After doing this (about an hour or so) I went to start my truck and it was dead... of course. (now I know to have battery charging while using FORScan) I jumped the truck and it started right up. Took it for a spin, and shut it off for the night everything fine. Tuesday morning I woke up to a wrench on my dash - "Power train malfunction/Reduced power" on my dash, and a message on my ford app. I am wondering if this came up from any of the few mods I did (bambi mode, disable double honk, disable auto start/stop, a few others) and/or jumping the truck with jumper cables. I am really dissapointed.... I drove my commute to work and everything ran, shifted, etc as normal (the usual skip 2nd gear has always been a thing for me since getting truck Feb. 2021). After work, I plugged in reader and hooked up to FORScan and its got a bunch of more DTCs. I decided to reset every module to the original as builts, in hopes of it clearing this power train malfunction / reduced power. Most DTCs cleared, except for something pertaining to gear box, and maybe something in the PRM? I cant remember exactly. I drove to and from work the rest of this week, there were no problems, It drives and shifts like it always has. I think it pertains to possibly when I jumped the battery?? Can anyone chime in on their thoughts on this situation please?? Is this just a coincidence this "wrench light" came up? I ended up bringing the truck into a Ford Dealer this morning. I am now worried this wont be able to be solved, and will cost me money, hopefully its covered under warranty, and hopefully they cant see I was in FORScan and somehow caused this. (I know I was extremley careful when using FORScan in the modules). Anyone got anything for me?? Thanks for all your help.The CCM DTC talking about the sensor being blocked - Did you put an aftermarket front bumper on or do anything that might be blocking the sensor that's above the driver side tow hook? Some of those DTCs seem serious but if it were me I would clear them, and see if they come back. If they do then I would take the truck to the dealership to have it diagnosed because those aren't the run-of-the-mill DTCs that pop up.
