Hello out there..
I have been having issues with my car going into limp mode as of late and am just wondering if anyone will be able to help me figure it out before i have to spend a fortune on inept mechanics taking their "stabs" at it. First i took my car in to have the leaking electrical connector in the trans replaced. Before then i had, in 4 years had "0" ever limp mode. Since that visit i have been in limp mode several times. So I am wondering what they did. Is there an issue with the connector? Did they overfill my transmission? ( i made them check they said was slightly over but not enough to hurt anything) Okay. Now everytime the car goes into limp it is when i am cruising and i have my massive stereo up loud. Could this power drain throw something out? I am wondering if this is so because after my first run in with limp mode i had them reflash my trans after which it worked like a brand new tranny until i had a cruise night again. Now seems again to have unsure shifts (like trans doenst know which way to go) and i get thrown into limp once in a while (usually i say again when stereo is on).
Update. Did it again (with stereo on) but this time i got an engine lightfirst time). now i went home in limp, shut it down, restarted and still have an engine light.
