What does the wrench on the dash mean

[jkstang78]

My car has sat for the last few days in all this rain. I started it up and went to go get breakfast in it. Next thing I know the dash went crazy with a message and happened so fast before I could even read it. Then all that was left was the Wrench on the bottom of the dash. All I saw was check your Owners Manual. I looked through the Manual and no symbol of the wrench.

The car also started to stumble and would not go over 3000 rpms. It would start cutting off in all gears around 2500-3000 rpms. I got the car back home and shut it off and restarted it and everything is fine now.

I'm also trying to go to SyncMyRide.com to register an Account and get system Error.

Do a google search for "wrench icon ford mustang". You will see a number of hits for the previous generation, it maybe your TPS (throttle position sensor). Check this site

Always nice when things fix themselves leaving you no idea what happened. You should be able to get the codes scanned to see what triggered the event. Many auto parts stores lend scanners.

I have a code scanner at home. I also have a Elm 327 interface plugged into the obd port. I just checked on my phone using the Torque OBD Engine app. It's not showing any codes. I will check with the code scanner when i get home. I took the car out all day today and haven't had a problem since this morning

Your car went into limp mode due to a tuning issue most likely. It happened to me multiple times because of the tune from roush.
