Powertrain malfunction light... the wrench of doom?

Recommended Posts

While driving down the highway today I felt a hard shift followed by the wrench warning light. I quickly pulled over and shut he car off for a few minutes. When I went to start it up again I felt a hard clunk, but no warning light. I turned it off again and when I restarted everything was fine... no light and running well.

 

A little background: I've had the MKX for about a year and it occasionally shifts hard. I also had to have the PTU replaced about 6 months ago. Last week I had to replace the cooling fan and I used the quick replacement method. I'm wondering if I could have knocked something loose while replacing the fan.

 

Based on other things I've read on the web, it seems like this could be an intermittent fluke that happens with Edges and MKXs. Any ideas? Also, what kind of code reader would an MKX owner buy and approximately how much do they cost? Thanks to everyone who helps on this site. It has been invaluable.

Katie, Do you ever get the feeling that you might know WWWPerfA_ZNOW and macbwt from another group on facebook?

I found the part that corresponds with the number for the TSS but partsgeek.com says it is for the 2011-2017 Edge. Is it the same part for both generations?

As a matter of fact, yes. You guys are the best. Once we complete the OSS/TSS replacement, this forum, along with the Facebook page and the videos, will literally have saved us thousands of dollars. I can't thank you enough.

 

By the way, I ordered both sensors today. They should arrive in a couple days. Going to do the job this weekend. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again.
