limp mode? how to get out of it

Depends on why it's in limp mode. You should be able to clear it using an OBD scanner. If that doesn't work, reset the ECM.

i have no clue why it it was in limp mode in the first place but from research it woundnt rev right, its like its stuck at that specific rpm.. so it think its a limp mode problem, but either way ill do both!

also the engine service soon light is on and im not sure if thats the check engine light or not. can you tell me?

SouthArk370Z

Yes ... but I'd rather teach you to fish than feed you. If you can't find what you need in the Owner's Manual, check the FSM.

I'll do that later, so the lights means the same thing right?

is it stuck around 3k rpm or so? and ate you AT or MT?

i wish it was around 3k too bad it woundnt accelerate up to 1500, like i said when i first start the car it would go up to 8-9k after a few seconds of revving it gets down to 1k and when i accelerate it gets stuck at 1500.. i have a automatic

shut the car off, let it sit for 10-20 min, restart. that got me out of limp mode when the tranny felt the need to put the ECU into limp mode one day. I was able to shift gears in the AT but stuck under 3k rpm.

try that.

i let the car sit for the whole 24 hour and its still the same thing, so now its just sitting taking up space!

FPenvy

hmmm. yup go back to initial comments of hitting it with a scanner and seeing if a code pops. there may be something bigger than just limp mode.

maybe do a reset but unhooking the battery for a bit then reconnect and start up.

8,000 to 9,000 RPM?

SouthArk370Z

I've been assuming that was the gauge's startup self-test. If he's actually revving that high, it would explain a lot.

the only reason why i rev to the maximum is because mine cant go anymore than 1500k after that

Katiehp0
