CEL lit up yesterday driving around Custer, SD on my 2016 EcoDiesel. I am on vacation 1800 miles from home pulling a 7800 pound travel trailer. If the code is not reset will the engine go into limp mode with this code? I have tools but I nfortunately I have no where to work on the truck.
More details:
I have been towing my camper several times a week using tow/haul mode and monitoring MPG’s and temperatures. Before the mountains oil temp was around 234 most of the time. On long flat straightaways at 65 mph and In the mountains the oil temp has gone to 255 and 264 so I have slowed down to cool it off. Two hauls ago I forgot to use tow/haul and mpg’s improved and oil temp stayed on 134 at 70 mph. So last leg I didn’t use tow/haul and was wondering if anyone thinks this coul have caused the P24AE code. The truck has 124,333 miles and has regular oil changes.
FYI, many have said oil life is strait 10,000 miles. Not so. With all the hauling and higher oil temps oil life is about 7,000 miles.
