My wife's 2006 Explorer has had the 'drivetrain malfunction' indicator illuminate intermittently twice in the past 12 months or so. The first time it happened on a slipperly hill while turning onto the steep uphill road. The second time it happened while idling in a parking lot. Each time, the error ceased by shutting off the vehicle and restarting it.
The second time this happened, I drove it home from the supermarket and noticed the shifting was a little rough. It was back to normal after shutting off and restarting the vehicle later that day.
Is this a quirk or anomaly, or a sign of serious trouble with the tranny? If you've had this indicator light up and had it in for service, what was the diagnosis?
