It is time for service

  • Anonymous Sep 22, 2010

    The Wrench on a Ford, is a MIL Lamp (Malfunction Indicator Lamp)
    It means the PCM-Power Train Computer Module, has detected a failure, in one of the vehicles systems. Usually a Sensor out of range for a peroid of time.
    You need to have it scanned for a code. The codes you get, don't tell you what is wrong or what to replace. Just an area of your vehicle, to start a diagnostic troubleshooting process.

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

AdvanceTrac™/Traction

Illuminates when the Traction
Control™ is turned off and will flash
when active. If the light remains on,
have the system serviced
immediately.
If you have your owners manual refer to page 158.
If you do not have one go to this website

2008 Ford Focus, depressing accelerator is slow to react...

Connecting a pro grade scan tool computer will tell you the DTC Code and that tells you what the problem is and how to fix it. The 'Wrench Light', properly the 'Engine Malfunction Light' is there to tell you that you have a problem and the scan tool tells you what it is?
