Hi Mior Muiz, thank you for your question. The spanner (wrench) symbol on your Ford Ranger typically indicates that the vehicle's system has detected a fault or that maintenance is required. Here’s suggestion what you should do:

1. Check the Manual

Refer to the vehicle's manual for the specific meaning of the spanner light in your model. It might indicate a service reminder or a fault in the engine, transmission, or other systems.

2. Assess the Vehicle's Performance

While the light is on, observe if there are any noticeable changes, such as reduced power, unusual noises, or vibrations. If any of these occur, it could signal a more urgent issue.

3. Drive with Caution

If the vehicle seems to be running normally, you may continue driving at a moderate speed, but avoid pushing the car to its limits.

4. Perform a Diagnostic Check

Visit a trusted mechanic or service center to have the vehicle's computer system scanned. The diagnostic tool will retrieve fault codes that explain the cause of the warning light.

5. Take Action Based on the Diagnosis

If it's a minor issue, such as a service reminder, schedule a maintenance appointment. If it’s a fault, follow the mechanic’s recommendations to address the problem promptly.
