    Not really I need help and no one was answering. I drive a 2016 Freightliner and I am laying down after I turned the engine idle on and the truck started up then almost immediately shut off. A few mins later it beeped but didn’t start up. I restarted the truck and noticed that the engine light is on and now the idle management won’t work!! It just won’t turn on. Any idea why?? **sorry about the click bait**

    Try reaching down by your seat,and cutting the battery off,alot of times that will clear faults up.
