21 Diesel Lost throttle control on the trail.

[Parratt]

Coming on the return from a offroad trail i suddenly had my throttle become unresponsive past 15km/h. for about a minute, until i lost throttle completely. on a slight uphill grade,
No warning lights, or error messages. just no power in drive or reverse. however if the T-case was in neutral my throttle would work again same with having the transmission in park or neutral

No warning lights, or error messages. just no power in drive or reverse. however if the T-case was in neutral my throttle would work again same with having the transmission in park or neutral. about half a hour of being stuck in this position whenever i would put the transmission in drive it would start running super rough and nearly stall.
We ended up pulling me off the trail, and about a hour into the pull a "Regen in progress drive and constant speed" message popped up, This lasted for a while but once the Regen complete message showed i regained my throttle and my engine was no longer running rough.
Bringing it to the Dealership ASAP for a full inspection and to check out what the fuck happened, and now im looking for a delete kit.

Sorry to hear that. While I can’t help with a diagnosis….you’re lucky oriented Canadian and can delete.

@Casey250 is on these forums and had what sounds like the same issue. Not sure if he's resolved it yet. 5min into the video for reference. Also video plug because the whole Dirty and Dangerous crew makes good content.

Took it into the Dealership on 26/07/2021, on 27/07/2021 They called me saying they updated the PCM and cleared a code, fixed the issue, I Go to pick it up, almost fails to start in the dealership parking lot, running rough. drive it back into the service area, and take my rental back

on 28/07/2021 Dealership calls me saying they're replacing the Mass Airflow sensor. But the part needs to be shipped, 5-10 Business days..

No Update as of now!

Finally back from the dealership. They say it was water getting into the air intake that caused this issues. but covered it under warranty anyways. Issue seems to be fixed. I'm offloading this weekend so we will see if it happens again
