It means that the computer is detecting that something is making your car unsafe to drive. This can be a lot of things. I cleaned out the throttle body out then drove it. It ran fine and turned on great but after I let it sit for a day it wouldn't start. Get a mechanic to check it out.

Engine fail-safe mode on a 2005 Ford Explorer is a protective feature designed to prevent further damage to the engine when a malfunction is detected. In this mode, the vehicle limits performance by reducing engine power and restricting certain functions, allowing the driver to maintain control and safely reach a service location. It is typically triggered by issues such as sensor failures or other critical engine problems, and the check engine light may illuminate to indicate the issue. To resolve the problem, a diagnostic scan is usually necessary to identify the underlying cause.
