ATX stands for Automatic Transmission. This would mean you are low on fluid. Consult your owners manual for fluid type and how to add the proper amount.

It means your automatic transmission fluid is low. Check the fluid following the instructions in the manual or engraved into the dipstick.

Have you checked your transmission fluid level? In the 80s and 90s, Ford used a transmission that they referred to as the ATX, so I'd guess that your transmission fluid is possibly low or a sensor monitoring that information has gone bad.

I believe that is the light that comes on when your automatic transmission is low on fluid. Check the level. You probably need to add some.

It means your automatic transmission fluid is low. You are going to want to go to the local parts store and pick up a gallon of ATF and fill it until the light goes off.

Atx is anotther name for a front wheel drive transmission. Check that your trans fluid is full (if your car has a dipstick)or take it to your dealer to have it checked. Driving with low transmission fluid can be very harmful to your trans and can cause premature failure.
