Traction failed and engine light came on...

[Highatop]

I'll try and keep it short. I was out wheelin down a steep trail in 4 lo and then my engine light and then I seen I had traction failed flashin. I stopped turned off the rig and started it again. The traction failed went off but the engine light stayed on. So I turned around and went back out, I was close to home. After sittin awhile, I started it again and engine light was still there. So, as I was headin to a friends w/ a code reader the light went off. So we plugged it in and P0171 came up and we cleared the history. It was runnin alittle rough, not bad just alittle.
I did do some research here and came up w/ a sensor and maybe a dirty throttle body. I'm hopin anyway and its not the other ones. I have not been under the hood yet. Any thoughts...

Given that you had two concurrent lights come on out of no where, I would almost lean more toward an electrical issue (bad ground, etc.). Personally, I'd clear the codes, check all connections and see if they return.

If you have never cleaned the throttle body now would be a good time to do that anyway.

Don't just use miracle tune up in a can and let all that run down in your engine, take it off and use a brush.

I would go with both ideas, check for loose connections and clean the throttle body.

May be your battery is old and week.

I had something similar happen to me recently I unplugged the battery over night hooked it back up and it seemed to solve it
