What kind of a code reader are you using? The F-350 diesels are only sort of OBD-II compliant, and there are a bunch of codes that a standard OBD-II reader won"t pick up. Some of the programmers (hypertech, ect.) can read the non-standard codes, and the autoingenuity software will read them. If you can"t find someone with one of these, you"re stuck going to a dealer and paying through the nose for five minutes of computer time.

I"ve been looking for a used programmer that"ll read the unique codes (I have a 99), mostly because I"m too cheap to cough up the $400 for the autoingenuity software, but so far haven"t had any luck.

If you haven't already, make sure the fuel filler cap is going on correctly and snugly; it will turn on the light and sometimes not set a code if it isn't just right. Good luck.

There are several different programs that can go into your computer and read the codes, checkout autoenginuity.com for their software that for a price will do it there are others out there, some for less money (always better)
Good luck

Have you tried disconnecting the batteries for a couple minutes? to see if it clears.

"Go to the Dealer"...well, that depends on the dealer...we had a 91 Cavalier, and the engine started racing (40 MPH with foot off the gas!) Took to good shop, changed various sensors, no help. Shop took to their electronic expert, who had right idea but in middle of mental meltdown, so his work no help. Shop sent us to Chev dealer (shop paying); explained in detail to Chev shop, gave them typed history of problem, work done. They said "talked to factory, fixed now"--wasn't. Only got it fixed by taking to guy who built performance cars, programmed his own computer systems.

Sounds like you need to find someone with a better code reader!

Do you have the power stroke module for the code reader? If you do have it, it at least tell you where the code originated from (injectors etc)
