Just wanted to share , first 3 days in long Beach washington nearly problem free , torn cv boot after light playing , foutz 2" installed. Day 4 sand lake oregon was a blast aired down to 20 psi stock tires and let it rip for 2 straight hours . Jumped it 3 times off a 40ft hill climb lot of fun I was starting to worry about being in baja because it's so hard to get out of second gear and being mindful of all the atvs and sxs it was hard enough to stay out of first gear.
I took it in for a cool down about a hour and went back out . Wanting to run in sport but decided not too because of safety sensors with airbags ? Is this correct . I also ran with traction and stability off . I took it alot easier second round but I guess Temps were rising when I find myself in a bad spot up against a tree hole and it died , limp mode cleared code tried to climb out again but each move sent me further over the side and back into limp mode , check engine light . 3 winches pulled me out nice to have great people out there , engine light cleared on its own and I slowly exited the park . For the next day and a half several alerts went off mirror lights glowing orange truck drove fine , all alert gone now it seems .

Did you happen to check battery voltage at all during the issues?

I stared at the voltage lol it stayed in the upper range 13.1 thru 14 .3 as usual

That's low, I used to see in the lower 13s, after new batteries, im generally at 14.5, but lately I've seen 14.1 to 14.4, im wondering if it's because o have the AC on now. Unless I forget to turn off auto start/stop, I never see below 13.9

Fair enough , I accidentally headed down a sxs trail lucky it wasn't as tight as the rest of them

Is this not charging volts anyhow ? It's on the freeway my number usually is 13 s some times when I finish my drive and park 13s . But when I fire it up 14s...

Mine never drops below 14s during operation.

Where do you find the voltage gauge? I don't see it in the gauges on the main screen or any options to add it to the speedometer.

You can see on dash on screen with most pages from left to right or open gauges screen in infotainment screen
