Default check engine code after some troubles starting...

Alright guys.. so I went to start my truck and it would turn over but the batts sorta died so i had to jump it sadly, and it was your average extreme cold start, it wasn't plugged in it.. n now a code, starts fine and all just wondering what the possibility would be must say when i jumped it never heard it crank over as fast as it did

Havent scanned it yet.. but its running fine.. that's what confuses me .. last time I had a code for the intermittent power to ecu/pcm it didn't wanna start n that was solved by cleaning the cables, I'm just wondering if my batts are shot cause when i had them tested they were pretty shy of of goin to the bad sad I think one was at like 670 cca and the other was at 500 cca so I'm hoping its just batts

Get them tested again, good batteries are a vital component to a healthy truck.

You really do need two batteries rated the same, but dying batteries can cause all sorts of problems. So it very well could be your issue. Keep be updated when you scan it and we will go from there.

Bad batteries = Faulty computer readings and control. Could easily throw a code.

It was a Chrysler P1755 tranny power somthin.. but tranny is shifting perfect.. had batts tested they tested good but it was after a hour of running down the road.. so im pretty sure batts are in the nearest future for sure!
