Suddenly wrench icon and "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" message in my 2024 Maverick

[notgoosemaverick33]

Hey all. While driving home this evening from work, I noticed the SERVICE ENGINE SOON dialogue pop up and the wrench icon appear. I clicked it away hoping it was a random fluke but soon noticed it was anything but. Usually whenever I drive, I have the windows rolled down, no matter what temperature it is outside. I enjoy listening to the boost and the rapid boost dump into the intake whenever I let off the throttle. I noticed that as I pressed down the accelerator, there was no boost noise at all and it seemed like it was in limp mode almost.

I was able to limp it home at over 45 MPH but had a lot of difficulty getting up to that speed. It seemed the shifting was delayed for upshifts but had no problem in top gears holding at lower revs. About an hour after I got home, I received a notification on FordPass that I had an error stored in the PCM and I have those images posted here.

I bought the truck about 10 days ago and only have about 400 miles on it. I am taking it to the dealership in the morning, hoping it is just a random event. Had the truck in for the software update last week for the turn signal recall. This is the first vehicle I ever bought brand new and paid in full for with my savings, so I am hoping it isn't physical internal engine damage or anything. Has anyone else had this happen? I am no mechanic, I just know car parts as I have worked in auto parts retail for the last 10 or 15 years.

Quick information...
2024 Ford Maverick XLT AWD
2.0L EcoBoost I4
8 Speed Auto
Still breaking in the motor, mostly city driving at 45 MPH, and have been averaging 19.8 MPG so far

I should also mention that it has only been about 30 degrees and 40 degrees here in Wisconsin this Winter with no snow since Halloween of 2023. I usually remote start it before leaving work and let it warm up before driving it home.

It's amazing they still haven't fixed this issue. If it's like the hybrid Maverick/Escapes and Bronco Sports, it's a PCM issue and it either needs replaced or updated.

At least, hopefully that's the issue. Without the actual code it could be many things.

But since you mentioned the cold, it sounds like the most likely issue. Persistent in those vehicles and I'm absolutely stunned it's still going on in 2024 models.

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.

Hey all update time. Took it to the dealership and they hooked it up to the scan tool and said nothing was wrong it, and then said my paranoia was unnecessary. It has been driving fine ever since, no issues
