25 ST Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power

[Ohioguy93]

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.

Is this on a 2025 or 2020?

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.

2 Dec 24 Update: Have appointment 11 Dec. Dealer pulled data showing manufacturing dates indicating a software update is needed. Seems not so much engine related, rather all wheel drive. I'll post an update once vehicle in done.

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).

Appreciate recommendation. Have 84 miles on vehicle, most from trip from dealer. Perhaps Ford should include this item along with their spare tire?

Sorry to hear. I'll be on the phone tomorrow to make my service appointment.

I'm keeping my 2020 then and not getting a 2025. The devil I know...

I bought my 25 ST late August this year. Now have 3000 miles on it and have this issue today. Mine is currently at my local dealership awaiting diagnosis. This is my vehicles 3rd trip to dealership. First 2 were software updates. Anyone else feel like they are cheaply made? I mean I paid 66 grand and cosmetically speaking mine seems cheap. Door panel loose, carpet seamed horribly, wind through driver door etc. I got the vapor blue and its like the clear coat is messed up cause it water spots horribly

Yeeeep...Have received this code intermittently across 4 different starts over 1,077 miles. It acts to me like a module 'issue' that clearly isn't communicating sporadically with no actual degradation of functionality. I haven't brought mine in yet, but will soon. Sounds like a recall in the making....
