Limp mode: what does it mean and what to do?

In limp mode the control unit limits power and engine speed to protect the engine. Here is what can be behind it and how to proceed.

Limp mode: what does it mean?
01

What limp mode is

If the control unit detects a fault that could harm the engine, it reduces power. The vehicle then has reduced power and often only with limited engine speed. Usually a warning light comes on as well.

02

Common causes

Triggers can be a clogged particulate filter, a sticking EGR valve, faulty sensors, boost pressure problems or fuel supply issues. The stored fault codes shows which one applies.

03

What you should do now

Stop in a safe place. Sometimes limp mode disappears after switching the engine off and on, but that does not fix the cause. Avoid driving under heavy load and have the car checked.

04

How we proceed

We read the stored fault codes and tell you what triggered limp mode. Send us make, model, year and the fault message on WhatsApp. We only give prices on request.

  • I had my DPF cleaned and was very satisfied. The staff are extremely professional and use state-of-the-art equipment. No other company in Alanya works as cleanly and carefully. I can recommend them without reservation 🙏

  • They cleaned the diesel particulate filter of my Peugeot 3008 and also helped me with other problems. Manfred and his friend Erden are very kind and helpful. Thank you both! Greetings from Bosnia
