I was driving back to Mexico this morning when all of a sudden the wrench warning appeared on the left dash screen. Then I got a notification from the Ford app about a minute later which is nice to see this works so fast. I was going up a pretty steep hill with the cruise control (first time in 2 years I've used it) set to 70 when it came on and Annie looked it up and it said Powertrain malfunction. Damn you Sid @Msfitoy my heart sunk because the first thing I though of was the transmission. But then I remembered I still had 63.970 miles left before it exploded so I calmed down a little.
I was about 20 miles from the border and there was no other warnings (no cel's) and no loss of power so I continued there. After being parked for 90 minutes I started it back up and the wrench was gone and it drove perfect all the way back. I've read where some have had this exact thing happen but they had their check engine light come on which I never had. I've never seen the reason why and most said theirs cleared up like mine did but something must be causing this? It seems like it's connected somehow to the CC because I've never seen it before and it was fine all the way back. I'll bring it by Autozone later this week when I have time to see what codes (if any) were thrown but did anyone get any official word as to what's causing this?
