2018 2.7 here, Just got mine repaired as it did the same thing intermittently. It was the MAP sensor or boost Sensor, luckily after proving that it happened during and after warranty and dealer failed the first time to find it, for degree to cover most of the cost, might pursue the rest later. But a good place to start would typically be your MAP sensor or boost Sensor for your eco-boost guys.

The modded f250 I used to own used to do something similar. Ended up being a fuel pump issue. Needed to be upgraded with all the power I had but I ended up selling it for a raptor.

[@floydyoung9428]

there is a lot of discussion on this type of issue on the internet. I had similar problem on my 2015 f150 4x4. ford could not find the problem as the error code never would store. f150 discussion board suggested the throttle body was the culprit, ford would not go with that. finally it stalled out and stored the code, I ended up taking it to a non-ford repair shop. I also suggested the throttle body. that mech did the diagnotic testing and had reason to suspect the TB, so I told him I would pay for it, replacing the throttlebody did fix the problem.

[@solarflare4259]

My son's 2015 F-150 had the same problem while driving at 70mi/hr on a cold morning...Wrench icon light came on. Imagine how many problems the electric cars will start having after they get older...The more complex the more problems... I love my 4.0 "in line six" engine. I has never complained of anything...:) Thanks for posting this video!

I think you should get a intake box that will seal against the hood. Having the open element in your truck not good. What's up with the wiring?

That limp mode possible is course the problem as a "Low Fuel Pressure" issue something like that, or others could be electric cable issue that course the glitch? I don't know, I only know abit of info things comes like this, but try not to ignore this kind of issue, you will never know what's going to happen next when it gets worst? Or could be ETB thing issue as well.

I don't have a Ford and therefore, I don't have this problem. You should buy a Chevy.

[@juanquintana8802]

If anyone is still having issues on this, double check ALL map sensor connectors. Sensors will throw a code but if your not getting a code, a worn out connector might be your issue.

[@sirmize1230]

Same happened on the turbo sensors

[@jashaudstewart1910]

Correct my truck did this while I was driving and i immediately took it to get a diagnosis any it read a outputshaft speed sensor circuit code

[@alexgonzalez614]

Did you change the output sensor? Is your truck better? Mine just started doing it

[@johnyu-eh4id]

The "wrench" sign is called "SERVICE VEHICLE SOON". When it comes on the dealer will use a scan too to see exactly what triggered it. The owner's manual is misleading because they mentioned "power train" which makes you think it's something with the transmission but in fact the powertrain includes a lot of things, including the air/fuel/ exhaust etc. I saw that symbol come on when I forgot to plug in the mass airflow sensor after the car misfires

[@trevorjohnson5213]

I got the code going uphill traveling through payson to mesa and I have the speed set to 75 and every time I hit the incline it throws the wrench light and goes into limp mode it sucks because I just spent 4k on repairs lol

[@johnyu-eh4id]

@@trevorjohnson5213 Sorry to hear. My guess is the engine is having problems with air or fuel air mixture. It might be that an incorrect intake filter is causing the engine to suck in too much air at high throttle and resulting in engine knocking. The mic mounted on the engine detects the knocking sound and puts the engine in a safety mode. Have you tried using fuel with a higher octane rating? If the problem disappears then the problem can be confirmed

[@coachbeam3600]

It’s always “I’ve never seen that before.”😂

[@jahwari]

@@johnyu-eh4id Is it possible that the problem is caused by the MAF sensor?

[@fish123832]

I've been told changing the rate of airflow through intake or the rate of flow through the exhaust can cause it to throw a code.

[@TheeDutchRutter]

I think it’s reading an over-boost event. Causing it to protect itself. Could be a lot of things. Map sensor could be an easy check/fix

[@The.Car.Guru.]

I had a 2017 Ford Fusion Sport that went into ‘limp mode’ a couple times. It would happen normally when I would slow down and then mash on the accelerator. It ended up being a faulty crankcase position sensor. Hope this helps

[@scarlettepledger5668]

Was it hard to put on

[@poolejakefit]

Did you ever figure out the problem? My 2019 Expedition wrench light came on and check engine light, and the transmission started shifting hard, no turbo boost when I accelerate, etc. Then I turned it off for 10 minutes and the wrench/check engine lights never came back on and drove normal again but I’m still concerned about future problems.

[@CanadianCruisin]

I went into limp mode with my 2019 mustang gt as well. It was when using the line lock and I got a little carried away and the car didnt like the high rpm. Let it sit overnight and the codes all dissapeared

[@maverick042121]

What axle do you have? It may not be able to handle the amount of power it’s putting out and it may default to a safety mode if it’s detecting possible slippage with the gears

[@Network-Bob]

I have a 2013 F-150 XLT 4x4 with the 3.5 Ecoboost - for 9 years it was solid as a rock. Now it's doing this same thing. I take it to the dealer and they can't find a code. Guy tells me "no code so they can't help". "We can't just throw parts at it". So, I'm supposed to drive this thing around hoping it doesn't happen again? Or it does and somehow limp back to the dealer without turning it off first so they can get a code?

[@Bkknife]

This happened to me yesterday with 10R80 trans, the problem starts when the dash indicates wrench sign for the limp mode then the trans shifting went weird like its doing hard shifting from 1st to 2nd and shifts from 2nd to 8th gear to 10th… when slowing down its laying from 8th to 2nd gear directly. i scan it with SCT and no code is shown ….. the trans temprature sensor was not working correctly and it shows me -40 to 20 …. So i ask my bro who own a workshop he said that car may have an engine throttle issue or one of 9 sensors went bad. And I found your vlog and its very helpful thanks dear

[@sgtaddy]

I just got the wrench. Torque doesnt show any codes and neither does autozone. Mine is shifting real hard into 2nd and then into 3rd its shifting but the RPMs goes up high without the truck speeding up. Then into 4th sometimes does the same into 4th.. the rest of the gears are fine. It doesnt want to downshift either. Kinda lost on what it might be ?

[@indianaeuc7617]

Hey how many mpg s are you getting with the supercharger set up

[@DocMackGarage]

Have you tried resetting the ECU, then reflashing it with your mods ?

[@stanzo1]

My son has the same problem with his 2015 F-150. It is stock with no modifications and gets serviced regularly at the dealer. Wrench icon=rough idle=loss of power. When you shut it down and restart it resets to normal. Took it to the dealer who could find no record of the code-sound familiar? though it happened twice within 3 days of the appointment.

[@5bananas1]

what's that 4th dial at the end it keeps going from hot to cold? maybe the ecu thinks your transmission is overheating?

When you put the new lift on does that mean you will have to put new running boards on

[@a.wheeler7731]

My mustang did this same thing, read the error codes mine was the mass air flow sensor being a bit loose I think. I had codes for the sensor intermittent signal.

[@animeaddict6907]

Similar thing is happening to my base model 2017 F-150 5.0L 2WD (yes I actually have manual windows). I go to pass somebody who is going slow and the truck starts misfiring and bogging when I accelerate and climb higher RPMs, it even happens in sport mode, which really makes me uneasy. The wrench icon didn't pop up but my check engine light is on and has been on since I bought the truck a month ago from a Chevy dealer, which they said may be an O2 sensor fault (O2 sensor didn't matter as I had plans for an exhaust during that time). Funny thing is this all started happening after I got my catless Flowmaster exhaust installed, but before the exhaust was ever even put on, the truck was running fine in all modes. Idk what is wrong with my truck but I do know it isn't funny at all for that to be happening. I love love LOVE this truck, despite that I was actually wanting a 2019 Sierra 6.2L 4WD. I hope nothing too serious is wrong with the truck. I checked my oil life and it turns out the dealer forgot to reset it after the free oil change. I reset it myself so hopefully that helped it, but who knows. I just know that I can't stand when my truck, let alone any truck or car, misfires or bogs for any reason big or small.

Upgrade to 3 bar maf sensors, also the TB will cause this limp mode problem, peddle doesnt tell the throttle plate to open accurately through the rpm curve, throws it in limp mode to avoid detonation.. its a fail safe thing

[@haydenmontoya7510]

Throttle body is my guess If it’s the stock throttle body, it’s electronic and ford has had issues with them for quite some time now. Fortunately it’s 4 bolts and clip to change out yourself.

[@Powerstroke98]

I've worked on diesels, and old V8's, but not these new electronic engines much at all, so this throttle body change makes me wonder if it's my issue. Gone into limp mode 4 times overall so far, coming up with different gauge warnings every time, making me think the PCM is getting mixed up on the causes too. This throttle body replacement sounds pretty simple, so it's definitely something I'll keep in mind!. When looking at throttle bodies at different locations, there are several companies that make them...is there one that works best out of the number of different brands available? Unsure which one is OEM?

I’m not going to do much engine mods to avoid this from happening. I think my stock 5.0 with just a Corsa exhaust does a pretty good job as is.

You may need to replace your throttle body. Your throttle position sensor might be bad and the sensor is usually in the throttle body.

[@asaffarfar1529]

Have you cleaned the throttle body at all??

[@ricardohague5491]

Mainly 2015 and up but more 2018 and up need to update tire size in the pcm either ford because the transmission/torque control module are set at oem tire size but 90% of the people at ford say they can’t change it and tuning won’t trigger a pcm relearn therefore the P code puts it in limp mode and adaptive learning gets all messed up. So i’ve fixed my f150’s and mustangs with forscan by changing the tire size hex code then doing a pcm relearn and adaptive learning reset (these are why many people have to take it for transmission issues the potentially this is whats caused failures in some)

[@dragon81heart]

Hmm, I haven’t seen more than the first few minutes (paused it when you called Pip) If I were to guess just based on what I’ve seen so far I’m wondering if it’s either a timing issue coming from the added boost (hopefully not cam phasers again) or if it’s a transmission temperature issue as that your truck is making much more power than it was originally made for. All that may be putting too much strain on the transmission and causing it to overheat. Let’s see if I’m close lol And even if it’s not the transmission, it would be a really good idea to check the transmission fluid and smell it. If it smells burnt I’d get it changed Good like Mike!

[@Flydevice1]

Limp seems common in the f150s. I had a 09 and went into limp mode once, the tfltruck guys had f150 go into limp mode while towing and now this.

[@ernest6980]

that engine compartment wow

[@matthewgaines10]

Rule of thumb with a warning light; gunning the accelerator isn't generally going to make it go away. When tuned and modded, don't be surprised that the vehicle may not respond well to being tuned and modded. Neither would I waste my time throwing new mods on a truck that isn't taking the previous mods well. But it's content so you'll keep pressing on with everything as is it because it's content.

[@majedabumishari968]

My 2015 ecoboost went in a limp mode twice in a span of two days and was giving number of faut warnings. The issue disappeared by restarting the truck.I believe the reason for the problem was a very week battery that was causing all gages to vibrate at start of the vehicle. Replaced the battery and the issue disappeared so far.

[@patrickmcgee9910]

IAC controls the idle. IACs go bad at times. I doubt it's the actual electronic throttle body, but it's possible. But it could be the Throttle Position Sensor on the TB.

I had the same exact issue with my 5.0. It is without a doubt the throttle body. I had 2 90mm TBs from Accufab (branded ford racing) and neither worked. I bought a third after Accufab told me that they were both fine. Hooked up the 3rd TB and everything worked perfectly. Since then I've done a ton of research and it appears that almost every TB for the 5.0 has these types of issues.

I changed mine in my 2.7 EB and it didn’t fix anything

[@PeterLindsay]

@@vladimirandriychuk3496 I’m not sure of the issues with the 2.7 EB. I just know this is an issue with the gen2 Coyote’s.

Unhooked battery then cut ignition once when my 09 Lariat 2wd seemed to fix it

I had the same issue on mine a couple months ago and after they replaced the throttle body and throttle body wiring harness all under warranty, they determined it was a crank case breather

Throttle body TP sensor --- replace sensor if separate, if not replace throttle body, then clear PCM (keep alive memory) - KNOWN OEM TP sensor issue in OLDER Fords --- they kept changing out to different generations of TP Sensors on repairs...its all over the web. I guess its still a problem in the newer F150...my 2018 XLT just started this yesterday. Orange wrench and limp mode, with crazy clunky shifting.

My fathers SUV would do the same thing and a few more symptoms but turned out it needed a transmission valve body (SUV only had 50k on it)

It’s a Ford, they are finicky. I know what my pic is but I have a 2004 F-150 Extended cab 4.6, you gotta love em but they are a little confusing. Great video once again!
