First CEL
I'm not sure what it is yet. I need to get the truck in for a look, and the PCM/NOX calibrations. I got to work without it on and went out around lunch time and it came on.
I just changed the oil (yesterday) and added DEF (late last week), not sure if that has anything to do with it. I did re-set the oil meter/timer thingy back in the menu.

I popped the wire off to look at the air filter and forgot to plug it back in. It hit me while I was in the shower what it was.
On a side note, the meter thingy for filter restriction doesn't show anything but the filter doesn't look too clean. I may go ahead and replace it. I'm at 20,000 miles.

Lots of folks do that, but I always wonder why. If nobody is going to use the filter restriction gauge why do they even put it on the truck? Not to be difficult or anything, but just like engine oil the simple appearance of the filter means very little. The filter could be as black as your tire and if it's still filtering and moving enough air it's still just fine.

I just realized that I had the same thing about a year and a half ago. I was reading the manual and followed the instructions to disconnect the sensor and forgot to plug it back in. I started the truck to drive to town and saw the CEL, and when I got home I scanned it and immediately knew what was wrong.
Do you have a scan tool, Steve?

It's probably read generic codes, which is what this CEL likely was. If you want something more capable I highly recommend AutoEnginuity. I'll bring mine in June if you want to check it out!

My BT ODB connector and the Torque app work great but I'd like to dig a little deeper into the truck.
