If the check engine light in your Ford F-150 comes on, it's best to pull over and stop driving immediately. Continuing to drive with the light on can cause more damage to your vehicle's mechanical parts. Once you've stopped, use an OBD II scan tool to check for any codes. A B1318 code indicates a battery voltage issue, usually due to loose battery connections or a faulty cell. I suggest getting a battery test to identify and resolve any problems.

In Ford vehicles, the B1318 error code points to a situation where the battery's voltage is low. This issue is usually due to a battery that is dead or failing, or a problematic battery connection.

If you're driving and the check engine light turns on, or if your car loses power or struggles to stay running, and your OBD2 scanner shows the code B1318, it indicates that the battery may be faulty, the alternator could be failing, or there might be a poor connection to the battery. First, try recharging the battery, cleaning the terminals, and reinstalling the battery to see if that resolves the issue. If not, while the car is running, detach the negative cable to check if the car continues to run. If it does, turn on all accessories to determine if it stays running. If the car stays running with accessories on, then it is likely time to get a new battery.
