Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) P0380 Trouble CODE

[chazj]

My truck started today without fail except for the MIL Light that came on. Outside temp was 50 and light rain. I did not wait for the Wait to Start light to go out and the truck started immediately as usual.

I read the previous posts regarding this code and have seen nothing obviously wrong. The truck ran fine.

Am curious if this could just be a fluke and if so...Will the code simply disappear after a number of successful starts like my previous P0234 Turbo Booster has?

Appreciate your help.

Regards

Charlie

Check for loose /dirty connectors first at the grid heater solenoid

look carefully at the two small wires that activate the relay. On mine one of them was a little bent out of shape so it was loose. I keep getting that code until I reshaped the terminal sso it made good contact. No more code
