A wrench light is showing on the dash what is that mean?
It means there is a problem with the ( ETC ) electronic throttle control .It should be noted that the ETC system illuminates a powertrain malfunction indicator (wrench) on the instrument cluster when a concern is present. Concerns are accompanied by diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) and may also illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). I'd have it checked out by a professional ! It could go into reduced power mode !
It means that service is required.
SOURCE: the wrench light is on on my 2008 ford focus what
I assume you have no owners manual or never read it.
The wrench is a MIL Lamp--- a Malfunction Indicator Lamp
It tells you that something like a sensor or other issues,is out of range,as far as the PCM (Computer) sees it. When ever you get a check light,mil light,trac,abs ,etc,you go to a repair shop fairly soon,like a couple of days or so, and have the issues checked out. This will happen a couple times a year ,on most of todays vehicles,so get used to it,and expect to pay a diagnostic fee, plus repair
