I get this error about every third time I start it. They can't get me in until 12/2, and it doesn't drive any different when that error is on. Anyone else have/had this issue?

I'd go to an local parts store and have them pull the code.

2025. I need to update my picture to my new one.

Sounds like a leak in the air system before the turbos. When I installed a cold side charge pipe with a blowoff valve, the blow off valve didn’t seat properly the first time. Got this same message until everything was seated and sealed up properly. This was on a ‘22.

Just purchased my 2025 Explorer ST last night. Went to garage to obtain radio ID and received Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power notification on dash and on my Ford App. Wasn't planning on this.

Wow and I was hopeful that despite my numerous major issues with my first-year ST, that by 2025 Ford would have worked out the bugs over the past 5.5 years!

Do yourself a favor and get a code reader. Preferrably one recommended by Forscan, like OBDLink MX+ bluetooth dongle.

I have a 2025 Explorer ST and just got the same error. I'm taking mine in on the 11th (soonest available time).
