i finally got my firewire setup to read the correct code ,which was p0302

which is telling me that spark plug #2 has a misfire problem.
before, all it would show was p0300, a general error

I changed the spark coil, cleaned the spark plug and it started running real nice, again.

In reply to Deborah S Key. You could try disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery for about 10 seconds, reconnecting the battery, and seeing if the light comes back. If the light comes back, you should take the vehicle to the shop that fixed the flat and tell them about the problem. Be aware that when you disconnect the battery certain saved values such as your trip meter may be cleared.

In reply to Sean. Our 2019 Explorer just had this Advance Trac notice on dash display. Drove immediately to dealership and codes indicated Mass Airflow sensor bad. Sensor replace and so far so good.

2015 f350 Check Advance Trak comes in and the engine shifts to 4 low, out has been to a dealer several times fixing this and that but the issue still occurs. What is going on that Ford can’t determine what is wrong?? I’m worried it might cause an accident. No other warning lights…

I have the same issue as Paul, above

all of a sudden, going down the road, the ‘check engine’ light comes on and it starts cutting out, and sputters at lights and signs.
Once you get up to speed, it semi corrects itself, but, just wait for the next light…..bummer..

i had to park it as it is, ,like Paul says, very dangerous to drive.

Ford should know about this issue and have a fix for it.
Just because something in the drive train doesn’t like spinning, it should never affect vehicle performance.

and.

what is limp mode.

shouldn’t it be explained if it is mentioned and what causes and fixes it?
