Cosmos36 Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 The engine light came on at approximately 33,000+ miles on my Select with the 2.7TT. A day earlier when filling fuel at Costco, the pump kicked off at ~ 6 gallons when I expected about twice that much for a fill. After filling with an additional ~ 6 gallons, I proceeded home with no apparent issue. The next morning when starting the engine, the engine light came on (not blinking). From previous experiences, I suspected a connection with the previous day's fill up and had a local auto supply vendor (O'Reilly's) check the OBD for no charge. There was no code indicated and the engine light was out upon restarting with no further issue. This post is just a heads-up to a simple solution to a not-uncommon occurrence. Some auto repair/dealer shops would charge upwards of $80-$100+ just to check for a code thrown for the engine light plus some rip-off parts/labor up-sell to correct the "issue".

akirby Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Code readers are relatively cheap. I recommend buying one and a Solar BA-7 battery tester and do your own testing/code hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz12 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I too had an engine light come on ( no flashing) at 39,000 miles and 4 yrs & 2 days old. I am in Fla about 700 miles from home so I really wanted it checked out. After contacting the concierge for help her first message was I would have to pay for the repairs since I was out of warranty, nice. She tried 3 places and couldn't get an answer so I told her to forget it. I too went to O'Reillys and they gave me the code P144A. Some type of sensor problem that could wait until I got home but since then the engine light has went out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoC2 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I can't recommend enough that you get an extended warranty from Lincoln. It will pay for itself one day. I bought my 2016 5 weeks ago and got the Premium Care warranty. Last week there was water in the headlight, dealer said it wasn't covered. I called Lincoln and they claimed it wasn't covered HOWEVER their literature shows it is. The next day they called and it's covered 100% no deductible. The headlight costs $1850, my warranty cost me $1800. You do the math, I'm already ahead of the game after only a month! CARR142 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
