Why is the wrench light on my dash on 2015 ford explorer?

Asked by Crod44 Dec 09, 2020 at 10:09 PM about the 2015 Ford Explorer Base

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I know its a powertrain/awd fault but its running
fine. I repaired the ac/heat vent switch module and
replaced the interior courtesy lamp fuse. Drove it
about 20 minutes and it popped up. The vents
work fine, the interior lights work now but I have
the wrench signal for some reason. Could it be it
needs time to adjust to the throttle since replacing
the vent switch and battery being disconnected?
I'm stumped. Tried battery relearn for idle and
checked fuses. Any suggestions

I scanned myself and doesn't read a code since its not the check engine light im guessing.

Powertrain/awd fault......take to dealer. Transmission/Engine fault. Its running fine, no limp mode and no loss of power. Cleaned out electric throttle.

I may have corrected the problem. As I mentioned, I replaced the ac vent switch actuator, so I just disconnected the wire harness to the vent actuator and drove around awhile and wrench light did not come on. When I got home, I disconnected the negative battery cable and then plugged in the vent actuator harness. Memory resetted my system. Drove around again and no wrench light anymore so far. I just think the computer was not setting up with the actuator causing a fault.
