Limp-In Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue and 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If sensor input signals are missing or inadequate for transaxle operation, PCM will output preset operating signals to transaxle. Limp-in mode will keep vehicle operational and allow it to be driven with reduced transaxle function and performance to a repair facility. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may illuminate if malfunction occurs. Vehicle should not be driven for extended periods in limp-in mode.
