So I went on vacation this weekend and had to leave the truck at the airport. No way to plug it in. I have known for a while that the batteries were getting a little weak but like a :banghead: I figured I could squeeze one more trip out of them. When I got back last night it was a toasty -7* F in Fargo, ND. Batteries didn't have enough juice to crank her over. Had a guy give me a jump and we finally got it started after a couple of times worth of cranking a few seconds, let the batteries recharge, run the grids. Now the check engine light is on. Gonna go by a autozone or something and use a scanner. Ill post what I find. I got some new batteries today so I shouldn't have a problem anymore hopefully:pray: Didn't have a CEL before I parked it there for the weekend so I'm interested to find out what codes are hiding in there. I was gonna use the key trick but I wanna see EVERYTHING that's in there. Ill keep ya posted....

Too bad you aren't closer. I could turn your CEL off for you.

It might just be p0562, system voltage low. I've come across that one a few times on Volvos with dead batteries.

Ok so I pulled the codes. P1689, P0232, and P0215. I haven't gotten a chance to look them up yet. I cleared them and none have come back at the moment. I drove about 15 miles after clearing them. Thanks for that MnTom!!

P0232 Fuel pump secondary circuit highP0215 Engine shut off solenoid malfunctionP1689 No communication between ECM and I/P module

When I replace the batteries this weekend I am planning on checking/cleaning the ground connections. Sounds like I might be having a bad connection somewhere. I am not sure there is anything that would link these codes apart from bad grounds maybe. Thanks for that code info!!

Don't know why that happened^^^^ I am just hoping I don't have an ECM issue :pray::spend:

Hm! My son is working in Shell Lake. You close to there?

Most likely from the batts going dead. I've seen random codes be thrown from low voltage. If you cleared them and they haven't returned I wouldn't give it another thought. JR

I would have to agree with the above.

Thanks for the thoughts. Drove it to work today and still no codes came back. Looks like I'm good. I'm still gonna clean the grounds this weekend since I'm disconnecting the batteries anyway.

I am straight south. About 15 minutes over the border from Minn. St. Croix Falls area. Shell lake isn't too far.
