“Check engine light went on and the Truck went into low power mode. Took it to an independent service center and it was no longer throwing the code. It happened a couple more times, took it to the dealership and the diagnostic was: Setting in ECM., Actuator is Binding causing DTC and vehicle to go into Reduced Power Mode.
