2022 F150 with 3.5L boost, ~53,000 miles...

Got an alert 2 weeks ago for "Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power" on my way home from work. I couldn't tell anything wrong with how it was driving, so drove the rest of the way home. Drove around the neighborhood later that evening, and the error persisted, with no symptoms at neighborhood speeds.

I had a couple of weeks of working remote nights, so I put it on a trickle charger. The next day, I decided I that I should just make time and take it in, but when I started it up, the error cleared, so I decided to hold off. The app now says no alerts, and my OBD reader doesn't find any codes. Have driven it a few times, and it hasn't come back.

Should I take it in to have it looked over, or is this more likely some transient sensor error? If there's a powertrain issue, I'd obviously like to get it fixed before the PT warranty expires.

I have the same year model and mine did this and it ended up being a watergate turbo sensor that failed. It was replaced under warranty. I doubt yours is the same thing just sharing what happened on mine.

I need to get a new battery too and the comment above is a good reminder.

Yes. I get the occasional message that remote systems are shutting down, so I should probably replace it soon.

My original battery was the source of the same messages/issues.

I have a 2024 and was always getting this warning. I ignored it for months because like you it would come and go pretty frequently but I never experienced any actual issues. Oddly enough mine actually wound up being some kind of issue with the gear shifter that was replaced under warranty
