I have this problem but I'm not getting any codes

The light will not go off in our 2012 Ford Taurus sel. Randomly came on and no button to turn it off.

Hi there, sorry to hear that, do you have an OBD2 scanner?

[@Inp3erp3tuity]

@@HonestMechanicChannel Thanks for replying! We took it to get the abs codes read and nothing came back (no codes).

When I experienced this fault, I completely lost the ability to accelerate. Dangerous.

[@HonestMechanicChannel]

Sorry to hear that. Did you manage to get it fixed?

[@thefan2890]

@HonestMechanicChannel Yes, this problem was a short circuit in the wiring harness to the control module.

Update: I have since experienced this fault again after the wiring harness replacement.

This time, it was a failed throttle body.
