Got a warning light this morning

[Anthony]

Went to start my truck this morning and the first try nothing happened... starter did not engage or anything.

Second try it started and got this message in the dash (See Manual).

I clicked OK, but the wrench light remained on for my entire drive.

This also popped up in the app:

After my 15 minute drive I went into a store for about 20 minutes. After starting the truck, no more error message or wrench in the display.

Im hoping this isn’t a module or something on the way out or loose. I have a code reader so I’ll try that when I get a chance later today.

First check would be battery check if it were me. Stop by AZ and scan the cells.

Hi Anthony,

You likely have a electrical connector that is not fully seated. This seems to be a frequent occurance. Have the dealer reseat all the engine compartment connectors as well as the under dash connectors. it is likely a simple fix but need to find the cause as it will appear again until the electrical integrity is completed....

Thanks Phil! That was my initial thought. I'll make an appointment with my dealer.

PS: Thanks for the insightful posts you always bring to the forum.
