Truck died
Yesterday, truck ran for 5 seconds then died. Fuel filters changed 4 months ago. Wrench emblem showing on dash. Will any code readers from auto parts stores work to lead me in right direction? I figure it stuck egr valve. Any more ideas


Thanks in advance

Most DTC readers will read most codes. Have the code read and let us know.

It should read generic emissions codes.
But ford specific ones probably not. Unless it says so.

That is an injector control module detection error.


I really don't think that is a valid code. Clear it and see again.

Does show a code because it cannot read the ford specific codes.


Wrench indicates a powertrain fault of some kind.


You are going to have to get ford to read it or buy a scanner that will read the specific codes for ford.
