dhh3 Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 It may be in "limp" mode. Any warning lights on the dash? Try disconnecting the negative terminal for a while and let the system reset itself. Let us know what happens. jkeaton, jab9999, Animal Mother and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jab9999 Posted March 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 My apologies for lack of info. Journey will suddenly will not go 2000 rpm, traction control light stay on, and red lightning bolt light is on. When all this happens it goes in limp mode. I pull over shut car off then restart. Problem goes away but always happen again. dhh3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 What engine? How many miles? The issue is the electronic throttle body. What does the dealer want $600 for? (Don't know what "Tp" is). Could be bad gas, could be a dirty throttle body. I would start by cleaning the throttle body, disconnecting the battery for 20 mins and see if it clears the problem. 2late4u and dhh3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weasey31 Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I experienced this after car failed to start one morning. After I jumpstarted it, the DJ ran in Limp mode or limited power reserve mode. The traction control idiot light was on. Would speed up pass 10 mph. Couldnt figure what was happening. After driving it directly to dealer thinking it was $$$$ problem, i restarted the engine. Problem solved! You have to turn off and restart again. There's really no information about this limp mode out there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
