First Check Engine Light

Hey guys,

Truck is going in for its first check engine light. 2015 F250 Truck has 24,500 miles on it. Came on the other day with codes P0390 and P0394, both indicating camshaft position sensor. Cleared it the first time, but came back on within five starts or so. See what the dealership has to say as it is still under powertrain warranty. Need to get it fixed, trucks going to be used for its first out of state pull. Bringing my boat into Pennsylvania at the end of August.

Would that be covered under the powertrain warranty? I thought only internal issues were covered under it. May want to double check with the dealer.

according to Ford 2015 warranty booklet (on-line)

3 year or 36,000 miles bumper to bumper

drive train is 5 year or 50,000 miles..

also the camshaft sensor is an emission control device and is also covered under the Electronic Engine Control Sensors and Switches
are covered by both the Emissions Defect Warranty and the Emissions
Performance Warranty.

Codes should be stored in the computer.

I checked before I left it with them, showing still present as pending in the computer, but who knows what they will do now that the light is off

they should be a "Smoke Test"... for leaks.

light went out because the error is not valid at this startup.. but is stored in memory... as pending.. = waiting for the NEXT same error to happen.

at this time.. Most likely a intermittent seal on gas cap.. or cap was not tight.
