Limp mode: Codes, Causes & Fixes

P0299 Powertrain The turbo or supercharger isn't building the boost pressure the engine computer is asking for. Moderate P2002 Powertrain The ECU thinks the diesel particulate filter isn't trapping soot properly — or it can't measure… Moderate P0606 Powertrain The engine computer failed its own internal self-test – check its power and grounds before… Moderate P0700 Powertrain The transmission computer found a fault and asked for the check engine light – read the TCM… Moderate U0073 Network A module saw so many errors on CAN bus A that it shut off its own transmitter. High U0100 Network Another module stopped hearing from the engine computer on the CAN network. High

P1735 Volkswagen · Powertrain The DSG control unit lost a valid signal from the sensor that tracks clutch 1 and locks out… High P175D Volkswagen · Powertrain The DSG computer saw clutch 1 let go while it was supposed to stay engaged, so it cut… High P1778 Nissan · Powertrain The Jatco CVT's step motor is being commanded, but the pulley ratio isn't following it as it… High P17F0 Nissan · Powertrain The TCM detected judder it blames on the CVT itself, usually belt or pulley slip inside… High P2002 Powertrain The ECU thinks the diesel particulate filter isn't trapping soot properly — or it can't measure… Moderate P2006 Powertrain The intake swirl or runner flaps stay shut when the ECU wants them open, choking airflow… Moderate P204F Powertrain The DEF/SCR system isn't cutting NOx the way it should; ignored, it leads to a severe speed… Moderate P207F Powertrain The ECM thinks the DEF in the tank is too weak or contaminated, often right after a refill. Moderate P20E8 Powertrain The DEF pump can't build or hold enough pressure; suspect a leak, frozen line, clogged filter… Moderate P20EE Powertrain The SCR catalyst isn't removing enough NOx; DEF quality, dosing, a NOx sensor or the catalyst… Moderate P2100 Powertrain The computer can't push current through the throttle motor – the circuit to the throttle body… High P2101 Powertrain The throttle plate isn't reaching the position the computer asks for, fast enough or accurately… Moderate P2102 Powertrain Too little current or voltage reaches the throttle motor – usually resistance in the feed, not… Moderate P2103 Powertrain The throttle motor circuit draws too much current – a short, a shorted motor or a plate that… Moderate P2104 Powertrain A fail-safe has locked the engine at idle and the gas pedal no longer works – another code… High P2106 Powertrain Reduced-power limp mode: the PCM caught a throttle or pedal fault – look for the companion code. Moderate P2107 Powertrain The processor supervising the electronic throttle failed its self-check – a computer fault, not… High P2108 Powertrain The throttle control module isn't performing as expected – check its power, data link… Moderate P2110 Powertrain The PCM is capping engine speed with fuel cut-off because it can't fully trust or close… Moderate P2111 Powertrain The throttle plate stayed more open than commanded – a real safety concern until you know why. High P2112 Powertrain The PCM asked the throttle to open, but it stayed shut – the engine can't get air, so it bogs… High P2118 Powertrain The throttle motor is drawing more or less current than the PCM expects to hold the plate where… Moderate P2119 Powertrain The throttle plate isn't reaching the position the PCM commands, or won't spring back to its… Moderate P2120 Powertrain The PCM lost a usable signal from the main gas pedal sensor, often only for a moment. Moderate P2121 Powertrain The main gas pedal signal stays within normal voltage but moves in a way a real pedal can't. Moderate P2122 Powertrain The main gas pedal sensor reads close to 0 volts, below anything a working pedal produces… Moderate P2123 Powertrain The main gas pedal sensor reads near its full 5-volt supply or higher, even with your foot off… Moderate P2125 Powertrain The PCM lost a valid signal from the second, cross-check sensor in the gas pedal. Moderate P2127 Powertrain The second gas pedal sensor dropped below its minimum voltage, so the PCM can't verify pedal… Moderate P2128 Powertrain The second gas pedal sensor reads above its allowed maximum, so the pedal position can't be… Moderate
