2012 F150 Limp Mode

Hey guys, my truck has had an issue lately going into limp mode. Truck loses power, wrench light comes on dash panel, place in park, turn it off, set a minute, and start it back up. It does good for some time. What could this be?

The error code given was the driveshaft speed sensor error. Has anyone experienced this?

If that sensor isn't sending a signal the ECM doesn't know the vehicle is moving and figures no additional engine power is needed.

The simplest answer is to crawl under the vehicle and change the sensor.
