service engine soon light on

I just put on new 4" exhaust today went to start it and the battery was dead. I finally get the battery charged up enough to start and now the service engine soon light is on. I don't know if its from the thing having to really change the dead batterys or the new exhaust. What do u think?

Ya it runs fine. I took it out on the e way seems good. It's an 01 excursion no tuner yet. Only thing I have changed is the intake and exhaust. Not really sure where the map sensor is.

I think I found the map sensor and it looks like it is plugged in correctly. I was messing around the down tube on the turbo so not sure if there is anything else over there that I could have messed with. I looked pretty good last night and didn’t see anything obvious.
I’m going to scan it here at work today. I will post what I find.

Ok it was a 1690 code "waste gate control solenoid". He cleared it out and did a diagnostic on the truck and it went thru everything and it passed. So for now everything seems ok. I’ll drive it around and make sure it doesn’t come back. maybe I knocked it when I was putting the down tube on or something.
