Hi

I just had a warning light come on. Its the one with the ! In the circle.

What does this mean? Obviously not good

It's like a master caution indicator. Several thing could have triggered it depending on what sensors are in your truck, an improperly tightened fuel cap for example or it could be an engine issue. I assume you have checked your fluid levels to eliminate those.

Best course of action is to take it to the dealer.

Sell It.

Sell It.

Open the dash and pull that light out first though - hard to sell a Ford that clearly needs a service

Read the handbook.

Check your handbrake is not on.

Release your handbrake.

Release your handbrake.

Snap

Hahaha yeah checked all fluids. It seems when the lights come on i dont have as much power.

That's The Powertrain Warning Lamp...needs to check immediately!

Buy old school but reliable vigo .

I will take it to ford tomorrow....

Wonder how this is going to cost me....

Got to check my brakes too. When the car is cold, if i tap the brakes lightly is brakes really hard like i slammed the breaks on.... This car is pissing me off and its only 1 year old

Hope it's nothing major and should cost you nothing,if the warranty is still in place....you did not do any alterations,did you?

...and the brakes do it first when cold....I got use to it.....but my wife still hits the dash,can't learn to snap the seat belts first

I hope the warning light is not the brakes that fail when on the way to the garage

Yeah no alterations, lucky as im about to change the stereo and put in a dvd player

I will take it to ford tomorrow....

That Brake Grab i think you will find has nothing to do with engine temp. Ive found many trucks grab on the first apply after starting. Never found out why , they werent mine , but had a few Hot Drinks down the shorts. Anyone know the cause.?.

just had a look at the manual. it comes on when the hand brake is on if the hand brake is not on it is a brake warning light. I would check the brake oil level and if that's ok go to ford and have them check it out

double post

From the Owners Manual (doesn't everyone have an English one by now?)...

The left one is yellow, the right one is red.

Which one is it now?

The cause is called "brake temperature" and when below operational temperature they can be "grabby".

...so,any news WebB ?

I can't believe there are still people who don't know this is the universally applied symbol to most (all?) makes as the vehicle brake malfunction and handbrake warning lamp.

Mine is the yellow light. So looks like something wrong with the engine.

Look at the post#19...his problem is the one on the left...The Powertrain problem...

reading the newranger forum it is not un-common for these to chuck the check engine light.

When I left mine for a month with a bad battery, the yellow 'Drivetrain Warning' light came on when I started it after fitting a new battery. Even stayed on in subsequent restarts. Read up on the Aussie Ranger forum about disconnecting the new battery for about 20 minutes so the computer could reset and that sorted it.

Like in most cars, the yellow warning isn't solely for drivetrain issues and the Ford mechanics will plug in their code analyser and find out which one (of many) faults is setting the OP's fault light. He did mention in post #9 that he seems to have a 'power' issues when it comes on so could be more serious and the 'computer' is restricting the engine so as not to trash expensive bits?

Do the Thai vehicles have the same OBD2 connector under the dash that the US vehicles have had since 1996? Anyone know?

The symbols have been in use for at least 2 decades. Every owners manual would explain their purpose.
