My daughter has a 04 xtype, it keeps going into limp mode, show a spocket with a !. she has taken in to two shops, they run tests but have no idea why it is going in limp mode?? Any ideas??

Limp mode is to keep the engine from causing further damage. It is designed to get you out of traffic and to a repair shop. It is not a great idea to bypass it. You need to find the cause and fix it.

Sounds like auto oil pressure problem test pressure at gearbox and oil fluid level.

Known as Limp mode.you have to get a garage to run diagnostics in this scenario.it could be anything from fuel ,electrical exhaust and any fault will be stored in the ECU on board .the engine management light usually flashes when cars go into limp mode.
its the yellow icon on dashboard.one time I had an electronic throttle linkage play up every time it rained and a few hard pumps put the car back out of limp mode.your next move is to get it to a garage who can run on board diagnostics to pinpoint the cause via the error codes that show during the tests.limp mode is to protect further damage to engine but allow you to get it yo a garage or home.

You put it in park and turn off and it resets. You turn it on and it runs awhile and zeros out. Try looking at the parking sensors and the on board computer.

Thanks bro not a Machanic but know my way around a car can u give me a better description on what to disconnect & check don't want to mess with something else -

it may not be a transmission problem. have you checked for fault codes to make sure it is not in limp mode? limp mode keeps vehicle from accelerating properly because the ECM has put the system at a limited setting to keep the engine running but not to its full potential.

verify the code with a different scan tool,
if it is going in limp mode it should be a trans code

I had the same problem with my 94 Concord. After reading the Factory repair manual I took the car to a close friends transmission shop. He up dated some of the parts with Heavy duty parts. Its been fine with 35,000 more miles on it.

I don't have the answer my friend BUT, the computer believes there's something wrong so it puts the vehicle into "Limp Home Mode". You say it isn't giving you a code to figure what's wrong but the computer memory will show it. No mistake. That's what it's there for. Take it to an Auto Zone parts and tell them what's going on. They will get the code for you and not charge you for it in hopes THEY will get the job of repairs and parts.

Hi,you might try just to disconect your battery for five minutes ,this will reset your computer and may solve the problem, Good Luck
