Hi all,
I own a 2019 Ford Raptor, no mods. I was on a road trip from Southern California (roughly sea level) to Brians Head, Utah. Upon arriving, I went to pass a slower moving truck, so I accelerated how I would normally pass, then the pre-collision light came on, and the vehicle went into a low power mode. I couldn't go faster than 45mph (or so it seemed). Brians Head Utah is roughly 9600 feet in elevation.
The CEL came on, I did not have a ODBII reader available. I stopped at an overlook, let the vehicle sit for a few minutes and turned my vehicle back on, it still showed the CEL and I was in limp mode. I assumed it was probably elevation, so I ended up parking the vehicle at the cabin and we didn't travel the rest of the day. In the morning, CEL is gone and I have full power.
I drove my vehicle back to SoCal with no issues.
I was wondering if this was an issue with the elevation? I did not take it into the dealer yet, just wanted some thoughts (this has been a few week since this occurred, no issues since then).
edit: forgot to add we spent a few days in Brians Head and only the 1st day there was issues, I was able to drive around at high elevation with full power the next day.
edit edit: forgot to mention, I fill up at mostly Chevron gas stations and this trip was no different.
