My friend has this car and about 2 weeks ago the check engine light came on and she said the car "didn't want to go". I plugged in a code scanner and got P0902. I cleared the error, and she says it's been fine since.

Today she says when she cranked it up, the traction control light was on, but it went off after driving a few minutes. No check engine light this time.

Could this be a sign of imminent transmission failure, or could it be easily fixed? I'm not too familiar with Ford myself.

The P0902 code refers to a "Clutch Actuator Circuit Low" which is a common problem because the clutch actuators can go out and cause this issue. I would replace both clutch actuators, they even sell them as a kit which is helpful. Clear the codes once the job is completed. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

Thanks for the reply. Would this cause the traction control light to come on then go off?

Yes, it could, if not then the traction control problem is not related, but one thing at a time.

Okay, I'll let her know the price of the actuators, might be a bit for her due to cost.
