I have a 2018 with 31,000 miles ..i had my truck at Ford for the cam
phaser job last week yesterday i stopped to get gas and when i started my truck
my whole dash was dead no radio nothing everything was black
i drove a few minutes stopped and turned the truck off then on ...the dash flickered
and came back on... now i have the check engine light on..
dropping the truck at dealer today

Right up until “the dash flickered ... CEL” i was thinking fluke.

I’ve had the sync screen black out on me 1 time in 3.5 years, about a month after getting the truck. I was preparing to make a stealership appointment, went out the next day, and it fired right up. I changed nothing, did nothing to the truck other than press the start button. However, I never got the Malfunction Indicator Lamp.
Forscan lets you pull the codes - and reset if you need to, but the stealership will tell you what’s what. since you’ve got a CEL, there’s probably an underlying connection or hardware issue. good luck.
