Limp mode is when the ECU or PCM has detected a potentialy serious condition with the vehicle ,so will only allow you to limp home with the vehicle , get the OBD codes read asap and this will tell you where the problem lies

    well i know my problem is in the transmission it is stuck in 2nd or 3rd n wont shift does that mean the trans is bad?

  • steve May 13, 2015

    not neccesarily , as i said get the OBD codes read by a reputable mechanic and that will tell you why the vehicle has gone into limp mode , it could be something as simple as needing new transmission fluid , get the checks and keep me posted if you wish, don't panic until you know what the problem is

1999 Jeep Cherokee. The transmission will not shift past second gear. It is stuck in Limp Mode?
Yes, that is the whole idea of Limp Mode. It limits you to first and second gear so you can limp slowly to the nearest garage without causing catastrophic damage to the engine. What you need to do is connect a good quality DTC code reader scan tool and see the real reason that Limp Mode has been engaged.

What is limp mode?
Hi, limp mode or (limp-in mode or limp-home mode)occurs when your computer in your car is not communicating with the sensors on your engine. On some cars(volkswagon Passat for example) If you disconnect the battery then the computer will lose all of the settings and will go into limp-in mode.
The car will have little power and a top speed of only about 30 miles per hour.
The function of limp-in mode is to get you to a place that can repair the car but the car is barely drivable.

2002 Impala: transmission limp mode...
Most transmissions have a limp mode, or limp-home mode.
If the driveline computer thinks there is something wrong, it can lock the transmission into one gear, such as 2nd gear. Usually reverse will also be available. The Impala automatic has 4 speeds. 2nd speed or gear will get you home, but the engine rpms can get a little high. I wouldn't get on the expressway will in limp mode.
Before taking to the shop, you might want to try and reset limp mode by turning the car off for a couple minutes, or you may have to disconnect and reconnect the battery.
