Went out to town earlier and came home, then the wife started out and said there was a wrench showing up in the dash and had that message in the app. Went out put it in reverse then forward in the driveway and it went off. Then I drove it around the neighborhood once and everything felt the same and the light still hasn't come back. Software glitch maybe?

Mine ended up being a loose ground at the fender from me being an idiot. Lol I’m not saying that’s for sure your situation but if it does it again randomly than goes away like that that’s what mine did.

Many who have reported random dash lights have traced the issue to a bad battery. A bad battery connection, such as @Chiefthepup reported, is similar to a bad battery since it can interrupt the flow of power to the system.

I did get it lifted recently and oddly enough the wrench popped up after I washed it and used a car blower to dry it so I wonder if something is exposed somewhere.

Yeah maybe the ground point that’s in the spot right next to where the shocks or whatever bolt into got knocked slightly loose when they installed? Mine was loose and I thought it was secure so I don’t think it takes much for it to start acting weird.

Tech basically blew it off said it could be a sensor or when the battery loses a volt or something it could set it off. It was off this morning and hasn't came back on. He said if it goes into limp mode then bring it on lol.
