Renault Clio 182 BG
Hi
I've done a quick search of limp home mode and not really seem to come to a real conclusive answer and my scenario seems different.
when overtaking in 3rd gear with full throttle, twice it has gone into limp home mode. I scanned it with my handheld scanner when it first happened (with the diagnostic light still lit) and no fault codes. Turned it off and restated, everything fine.
I've tried to get it to repeat the limp home mode by simulating overtaking in a safe place (as you know it cuts power and that's pretty scary thought when actually on the wrong side of the road!) but hasn't missed a beat, it's only when I've been physically overtaking has it got emotional and cut power.
Ive read that throttle sensor could be to blame. I'm going to work on it as much I personally can so can the sensor be resistance checked?
