Thumbs down Help Engine Code - P01450

My CE light came on yesterday morning on my way to work. It was a cooler morning than we have had all summer. I had Autozone read the code, 2 codes both were P01450. I cannot find the code list in my factory service cd anywhere. Anyone know off hand what these codes are under in the FSM CD's and Also what the code may mean. The truck is not running any different than it did for the whole summer. Thank you very much in advance

SB,

Look in the PCED manual Section 004 Diagnostic Subroutines.
