Default 2021 F-150 with Emission Control System indicator

Is this normal for the Emission Coltrol System to malfunction on a 2021? The truck is less than 2 yrs old with only 21K miles.

Can you tell us exactly what you believe to be the problem?


With normal use ,we would hope the answer to be no.
However , if the operator when filling the fuel tank did not stop adding fuel once the fuel nozzle shut off, that could cause emission system problems.

Most folks are not aware of just how much problems this can produce. AND it all falls under the title of emission problems.

Where do we stand here?

That is good to know! Neither my husband nor I continue pumping gas after it shuts off so that shouldn't be the cause. So far, we don't have a problem but the dummy light for emission control system came on the other day--and went off yesterday.

Thank you for getting back to us.

If you want to, there should be a code in the vehicle computer that you could have read at some places like Autozone that would do that for free..

Hopefully it does not come back.

That is also good to know. Thanks! We will head to AutoZone and have them check the code. Fingers crossed nothing shows up. I appreciate your knowledge!
