I just changed battered and also changed out positive battery cable as it was very corroded. When I tried to start it put truck in engine fail safe mode. It's a 5.4l with 93,000 miles. My assumption is new terminal was either not put in correct or not correct part. Any thoughts?

That wouldn't cause it.

If you mean it's in a "security mode," then possibly.

But you're not real clear on the details. Is it not starting? Or in "limp mode" where you have half power?

I believe in limp mode but have nothing to verify that. The engine does start but no response when I press on gas and rpms don't move either

Are you saying that you hooked the Positive cable to the Negative battery terminal? What your saying is all Greek to me.
