Happened to my old ba which was 6 speed manual due to overboosting. You'll have to shut the car off then turn it back on again to get rid of it. You'll know if you're in limp mode...

Or is that just the FG? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89066-how-do-i-know-if-xr6t-is-in-limp-mode/#findComment-1496354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
