Temporary Transmission Limp Home Mode
The transmission is monitored for abnormal conditions.
If a condition is detected that could result in transmission
damage, the transmission will engage Limp Home Mode.
If vehicle acceleration worsens, or the transmission no
longer shifts, the transmission is most likely operating in
the Limp Home Mode. In this mode, the transmission
will remain in the current gear until the vehicle is
brought to a stop. After the vehicle has stopped, PARK,
REVERSE, and NEUTRAL will continue to operate. Sec-
ond gear will operate in the DRIVE position. The Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) may be illuminated.

If the problem has been momentary, the transmission can
be reset to regain all forward gears. To reset the trans-
mission, use the following procedure:

1. Stop the vehicle.

2. Move the shift lever to the PARK position.

3. Turn the engine off.

4. Wait approximately 10 seconds.

5. Restart the engine.

6. Move the shift lever to the desired range. If the
problem is no longer detected, the transmission will
return to normal operation.

If the transmission cannot be reset, see your authorized
dealer.

NOTE:

Even if the transmission can be reset, we recom-

mend that you visit your authorized dealer at your
earliest possible convenience. Your authorized dealer has
diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could
recur.

Have the transmission checked at your authorized dealer
as soon as possible.
