Why is the wrench light on in my 2018 Mustang GT?

I currently drive a 2018 Mustang GT and today I noticed that the wrench light was lit up on the dashboard—why is it on and what does it mean?

This is a great question! Paying attention to the lights on your dashboard is key to catching problems before they spiral out of control—when the wrench light in your 2018 Mustang GT is lit up, it means you probably have an issue with either the powertrain, transmission, or throttle control.
Your next course of action should be to visit your local auto parts store or schedule an appointment with a local mechanic so that they can scan your engine computer to check for trouble codes. These codes will aid in figuring out what caused the wrench light to switch on in the first place.
In the event that nothing is wrong with your vehicle but the light still won’t shut off, you may be experiencing an electrical issue or computer malfunction, in which case a mechanic will have to fix it.
Recognizing when your car needs maintenance is important—but so is making sure you’re protected by the right insurance policy. Licensed
