Orange Wrench Light Illuminated?

Hi,

What you described sounds like the vehicle went into what is called limp mode. This happens if the computer recognizes a fault in different items.

The reason it is called limp mode is just that. It is designed to allow you to limp to safety.

I have a question, has the light come back on, or have you continued to have the same issues? If so, I recommend having the can-bus scanned.

CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, the different computers/modules on the truck communicate via a few wires. This type of scan will retrieve diagnostic trouble codes regardless of the module storing them.

Here is a link that explains how it is done:

Let me know if this helps, what you find, or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

Thanks for your quick response. I have several codes is just got.
P0316,P0722,U0155,U0253,U0401, and U0452.

Hi,

That is quite a list. LOL I have a feeling the problem is the output speed sensor. Actually, it could be the sensor, or a wiring issue related to the circuit.

When I went to code P0722, it directs me to follow the diagnostics related to a P0720.

Let me know if you are comfortable performing this.

Take care,

See pics below.

Thanks, Joe, for the great information. I have an appointment with the Ford dealership on Thursday. Figured I better leave it to the pros. Thanks again.

Hi,

You are very welcome. If you have a chance, could you let me know what they find? I'm interested in knowing.

Take care,

Joe

I sure will. Thanks again.

Dealership tells me it is a connector part # Foal3z-7g276-d. They call it a lead frame but the description on the paperwork has output shaft speed sensor. Same as you told me. Problem is there is a national back order on the part. Can’t get one until March. Thanks again for your help.

Hi,

Did they give you any ideas as to when the part would be available? March is hard to believe. Also, I believe you can purchase this part from remanufacturers. Did you try typing in the part number to see if you can get one online?

Let me know.

Joe

I tried online and found several but when I tried to order the message said back ordered. The only one I could find was eBay and it delivers in March. The dealership said they have 5 vehicles waiting on this same part. Go figure.

Okay, I was hopeful. LOL Regardless, let me know how things turn out for you or if there is anything I can do to help.

Take care,

Joe

Thanks Joe. I have talked to 2 other dealerships and they are having the same issue with these parts.
