If the wrench light illuminates on the dashboard of your 2010 Ford Explorer, it signifies that the ECU (engine control unit) has detected an issue. I suggest pulling over quickly, as continuing to drive could lead to further damage to your SUV. Once you have safely parked, use an OBD II scan tool to retrieve the error code that triggered the light. The issue could range from a minor loose gas cap to more severe problems with the engine or transmission. If you discover a significant problem, it is important to schedule a visit with a Ford mechanic for a thorough inspection and necessary repairs.
Can that symbol of a wrench impact my engine?
The wrench light on my 2010 Ford Explorer is illuminated. How can I resolve this issue?
Hi there! I'm dealing with a similar problem with my 2010 Explorer. Could you please let me know how you were able to resolve it?
The wrench symbol on the 2010 Ford Explorer signals a potential issue with the powertrain, 4X4, or AWD systems. It is recommended to reach out to your local Ford dealership for assistance in addressing the problem.
I'm noticing my yellow wrench light illuminating on my 2010 Explorer about every third time I drive it. I believe this issue may be connected to a recent incident where the same wrench light appeared in red with a "SERVICE RSC NOW" message, accompanied by an alarm sound, causing the transmission to lock in 3rd gear until I restarted the vehicle due to a loose connector in the console. Despite returning to the dealership, no error codes were found stored. The light can be turned off by pressing the reset button or shutting off the ignition. I plan to bring the vehicle to the shop to read the codes while the light is on during operation.
When my 2009 Ford Explorer displayed the "service rsc now" alert last year, I had to get it towed a few weeks later and ended up having to replace both front wheel hubs. Just a heads up!
If you didn't purchase it at the Ford Dealership, what would you do instead?
I'm sorry, but the text you provided does not seem to have a clear meaning and is likely a random string of characters. Can you please provide a different text or clarify what you would like me to paraphrase?
