lol limp mode-Your engine management and maybe even your transmission is controlled by the ECU. As you know, all computers crash, all software has bugs, and mechanical equipment fails. As such, many ECU units are fitted with a 'limp home mode'. When it detects that something semi-serious is wrong, it enters the limp mode, which means that the engine won't rev beyond a pre-programmed speed, you can't accelerate very fast, or you may indeed be speed-restricted to 40 mph or similar. The transmission may even stay in one or two gears. Bad? Well, no, not really: The alternative would be to either let you drive at regular speeds, with the danger of letting you trash your car (expensive repair, means happy repair people, but angry driver), or stopping you from going anywhere (expensive recovery and stranded on the side of the road means happy recovery company, but angry driver).

I know what limp mode is you fuckin troll. I knew either way if I said anything or not you would rebutle with something demeaning to my description. That was a good description however completely irrelevant to the situation at hand. The car runs fine just isnt meant for the 6speed tl tranny it has thus is the reason why you have so many codes. Put 2n2 together you got 4.
For the record.. I'll still let you sit on me limp mode...
