While normally driving, the "wrench" light will come on and the vehicle goes into a low-power "limp mode". So i pull over immediately, and put the vehicle in park, shut it off, and remove the key. I sit with it powered off for about a 10 second count, and restart the engine. The wrench light goes off, and i can drive normally until it happens again.
