Truck has 165k miles and has had no previous issues besides needing some spark plugs and coolant hoses replaced.

Driving home today on Westpark around 65mph and truck flashes a warning for stability/traction control fault/error (can't remember exactly). Then the stability control symbol and wrench (powertrain) symbol lit up. I could tell the truck was getting limited power but I drove it a few more miles at 55-60 mph until I could exit. Drive another mile at lower speed but could tell it was getting limited power (no issue shifting up or down). I got to a stop sign and had to wait for 30-45 seconds, tried to take off but the truck wouldn't go. It then flashed a low oil pressure message.

I turned the truck off for about 15 seconds and re-started. I drive another mile or so home without any issue or messages/symbols showing. Oil pressure looked fine on gauge.

Checked oil level at home but it was full.

Is this worth checking out or chalk it up as a random false code for now? Couldn't find any known issues on F150 forums.

Code is U0401-20 Invalid or Missing (CAN) Data From the (PCM).

It's an ABS code

From forums: A U0401 code on a 2023 Ford indicates an issue with communication between the Engine Control Module (ECM) and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), potentially causing performance problems, safety system deactivation, or even limp mode.

This means one of the modules isn't talking to the PcM.

Check all your harnesses for rat damage or loose fuses/relays and check the battery condition as well as terminals for leaks or corrosion and grounds around under the hood area.
