Short story...
I got gas on Monday and only drove a few miles and went home. Next morning used the auto-start and then headed off to a meeting. Came out of the meeting (it was snowing) so I went to auto start and nothing. Started the car and the check engine light came on. This was not on when I drove to the meeting. Had Auto Zone pull the code and P0451 came up. Guy said it was most likely the gas cap is not on correctly. Checked it and sure enough the plastic strap was wedged under the cap. Put cap on correctly and have use the truck a few times driving a good 15 to 20 mi.
So it looks like it's the FTP and going by what I can find on YouTube, this is something that I'm going to have to take to the dealer or local repair guy.
Couple of questions:
1. Is there an easy way to replace this or do I have to drop the tank?
2. Would the check engine light being on prevent the auto-start from working?
3. Also noticed that the AC light will not come on. If I press it it will light up, flash one or two time and go off.
Anything else I should check?
BTW, I've owned the truck since new and it has about 88K on the clock.
Thanks,
Brian
