Wernch Icon ???

A wrench Icon is intermittently appearing in the instrument cluster. This started on the way home right after I picked up up the truck from a transmission shop that replaced the torque converter. Not sure what one would have to do with the other.
The owners manual says the Wrench Icon indicates Electronic Throttle Control:
The engine has defaulted to a limp home mode. Report to the dealer at the earliest opportunity. Any ideas what this might be??
The truck seems to be running like it always has.

First thing I would say to try would be to unhook both battery cables and wait about 30 minutes then reinstall, and see if that takes the truck out of limp mode. Then I'd see if the truck does the same thing. If it does, I'd have to see about getting to a good shop.

Wrench icon is also used for transmission faults. Especially if the sensor is has detected slippage of the output. This can also be from a non functioning sensor. The sensors are mounted on top of the valve body and are prone to false readings with metal contamination. You mention a new torque converter and that means the old one failed are probably sent debris throughout the transmission.
