Engine Light
Hello, late today my engine light came on my f-250 2017,6.7 with just 2000 miles..seems to be running fine, just curious if I should park it for the the weekend or drive on ?
Thanks,

Did this happen soon after a fill-up? I don't know about diesels, but a loose fuel cap on a gasser can throw a code and activate the CEL. The code and CEL will usually reset once the cap is R&R'd... Might be worth a try.

Made an appointment for Monday....took a chance, had to go somewhere, drove about 100 miles.....the engine light is now off. Not sure if the code still there, but would like to know why.
Thanks,

Let you all know as soon as I find out.
Been all diesels for me over the last 25 years, several 7.3's that could run on anything...a 6.4 "that engine light never went off " that was a bad one..almost jumped ship but !!. This is my second 6.7 just a few water pumps and erg clogging, but I must say this new one is one powerful truck, just don't want to see lights.
Thanks and have a great weekend,
Chuck

It's probably nothing. I haven't had it happen in my '17 yet but my '11 and '14 would throw a CEL from time to time that would resolve on it's own. A couple of times I tracked it down to a cellphone charger and an aftermarket windshield mounted dashcam. Sometimes outside or aftermarket gadgets don't play nice with the
