Yesterday I was getting on the express way and there was a tractor trailer in the right lane so naturally I gunned it to merge ahead of him. I had the windows down that the stereo up so I didn't hear the chime, but after I merged I saw the CEL blinking at me. WTF? The car was running fine, I did slow it down a little and was going to take the next exit to see if there was anything odd with it but a few seconds later it went away. I thought it was weird but everything seemed fine. Today some a-hole cuts me off in traffic and I flashed my brights at him, he gets all upset, changes lanes and breaks so I could catch up. He was half hanging out his busted-ass Durango shouting something at me (I had may radio up so I couldn't hear him). I saw an opening and not wanting to be around this douche I punched it and go through the traffic, he got stuck in it. I looked at the dash and my CEL was blinking again. My exit was 1/2 mile away, this time I turned the radio off and closed the moonroof and listened. I could hear nothing out of the ordinary and the car was acting just fine. But this time the light went solid and seconds later I got a notification on my phone from the car.
The CEL is apparently for Excessive Exhaust Temps? I don't have my ODBLink MX with me so I don't know what the code is, but has anyone seen this before? Does this mean the turbos are too hot? My car is turned from Livernois and I am running 93 octane. I searched and it doesn't seem anyone else is posting about this, but I'm sure I might find a few hits once I get home and scan the code, I also haven't been back to my car since this morning. The notification basically told me to take it easy on the car and take it to the dealership. I didn't call Ford yet as I don't know if this was something caused by the tune or not.
