Limp mode is a safety feature that kicks in when your F150 EcoBoost senses something is wrong. When limp mode is engaged, your truck will lose power and torque. This reduced power can help prevent further damage to your engine or transmission.
There are a few different things that can trigger limp mode. One of the most common reasons is low oil pressure. If your oil pressure gets too low, it can cause serious damage to your engine. To protect your engine, the computer will put your truck into limp mode.
Other common causes of limp mode include:
-Overheating
-Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system problems
-Catalytic converter issues
-Low coolant levels
If you find yourself in limp mode, the best thing to do is pull over and turn off your engine. Once you've turned off the engine, you can call a tow truck or take your truck to a nearby dealership for service.
