The instrument cluster receives the wrench warning indicator status from the powertrain control module (PCM) for the electronic throttle control (ETC) concerns and the transmission control module (TCM) for transaxle concerns over the communication network. When a system concern is detected, the PCM or the TCM sets a DTC and sends the instrument cluster a command signal to illuminate the wrench warning indicator.
