Engine light coming on during acceleration.

Was passing a semi today before the highway turned to two lanes, so I gunned it to get passed the truck. Engine light came on and the truck started to shake uncontrollably. After a few minutes it went to normal. Just curious if anyone else have this problem?

2017 Ford F-150 3.5 Ecoboost. 114,000 miles.


Any help would be much appreciated!!

More than likely Cylinder X or Random Cylinder misfire. (X = 1 through 6)
If it came on and stayed on it will be logged and you can check for the error code. If it was just flashing you'll have to drive it until it stays on solid to figure out which code it is.
