Tow Mode Light Flashing
Hi to all,
The tow mode light on my 04 F-250 SD 4x4 has started flashing, I have to pull over shut it down and restart to get the light and mode to reset. Anyone know something about this? Thanks, ( first time I have ever posted anything here, so I'm a new to this )

Thanks! I will check to see if it has any codes showing. When this started I was very surprised that the engine check light did not come on, it seems like it does for everything else.

the tcm is part of the pcm but stores codes in a different manner. the blinking tow /haul is the same as a check engine light for a trans
