The computer in the car is telling you that a trouble code has been set in the computer and it is going into limp home mode. You need to put a scanner on the car and see what the code is and have it repaired. Hope this helps.

Why does wrench light come on when I try to accelerate?

I suggest you carefully read your owner's manual to discover the exact function of the wrench light.

I recently had experience of a GM model which had two lights on the dash. One light was a management light which would illuminate if a problem occurred that would affect emissions and the other light was a wrench light that would illuminate for other management faults that wouldn't affect emissions, such as turbo overboost.
The first light indicates a fault code has been recorded and diagnostic equipment would be needed to retrieve the code and extinguish the light but the second light resets with the turning off and on of the ignition. In both cases when the light is switched on it means the engine management has switched to an emergency get-you-home programme which usually results in a reduced power output - sometimes drastically reduced.

Whether this describes the system used on your car or not I cannot comment about but it does sound as though you need to make friends with someone who has some know-how and electronic diagnostic equipment.

What does "wrench" symbol mean in message center?

Wrench means, workshop needed. If it does not come back, no problem. If it keeps coming back, visit a repair shop.

We have a 2006 Ford f250 super duty powerstroke F4X4 and the wrench symbol came on while driving, when turned off it went off, started driving toward home and it came back on again. What does this me

Sounds like 2 separate problems. The wrench light signifies that the truck goes into" limp home" mode and that there is a problem with your electronic speed control. As far as the truck pulling; is it doing it just driving without using the brakes? It could mean that you may need an alignment, tire rotation , low tire pressures or all of the above. Good luck to you

Oil lamp and wrench warning light buick lacrosse

The oil light with wrench symbol means that your car needs an oil change and quickly. However, if you believe that's an error, use the Digital Instrument Cluster located on the dash to reset it or carry out the following steps to reset it:
1. Put the key into the ignition and switch to ON position
2. Once the dash lights have turn off - fully press the accelerator and release it three times in a row within five seconds
3. Now start the car and the error should have gone away

I have a 2006 ford five hundred; The "wrench" symbol illuminated on dash, car tried to accelerate then shut off. What could be the problem?

the 'wrench' symbol is a service light or possibly an engine managment symbol. if the car 'kinda' drive of a fashion then its computer has dropped onto 'limp home' mode and ur car needs to be put onto a diagnostic fault finder at a garage.
