F150 Tritan Service Engine soon

Hello all,

My Service Engine soon light came on 2 days ago. 1st it was solid, then it blinked a few times, then solid, then blinked... so i stopped driving it. It seams like it runs fine, but i am nervous... i have crappy luck with autos...

so, my question is, how can i get the codes to help me pin point what is wrong.... old cars i know you could turn the key fast on, then off, then on or something like that. is there a way for this truck.

thx:banghead:

If your truck is a post '96 model , it will have the OBDII system and can be scanned at most auto parts stores ( generally free ) and the scanner will tell you what the code means - good luck !

Ok i did as you suggested and the code that appeared was "P0302" cylinder 2 misfired. now the next question is what can cause that to happen, and what do i need to check out to fix?

thx much.:smile:

Go to www.obd-codes.com , a site covering the OBD trouble codes . Also , I am sending you a PM with additional info that may be helpful ! Good luck !.

either the spark plug or the coil is shot....try replacing the plug and boot first and clear the code and see if it pops back up
