Default Commander limp mode

Hello Fellow Jeepers,

This Morning my Commander CRD went into limp mode. Engine light & plashing red lightning bolt.

Any ideas from you guys???

Thank you in advance.

Eddy

The lightning bolt symbol is a drive by wire throttle fault, but without an OBD diagnosis you're flying blind. It's best to grab a good scan tool and keep it in the car at all times. I use Bluedriver, it's able to delve deeper into Jeep specific fault codes than the common ones can.

Could be swirl motor? Look up the resistor mod for a quick fix if it is

All sorted now,

No codes.

I am in the middle of a DPF burn & it just must have had a moment.

Scanned it with a scan tool & all good. O.o

I shall keep an eye on it & in the mean time get a good reader.
