You have the car scanned with the appropriate scan tool to pull up whatever fault codes are being generated by the computer because there will be one or more of them. Then the mechanics can begin to diagnose what the problem is and fix it. When the issue is fixed you car will no longer run in limp mode which it is doing currently to protect the engine and transmission because there is a significant fault that the computer has identified and has then restricted the vehicle to running in limp mode.

There are no easy fixes and there are literally dozens of possible problems that can send the vehicle into limp mode. If you don't want to do any of the above then the vehicle will very likely eventually stop altogether.

SOURCE: 2005 FRONTIER 4.0 GOES TO

How are your batt. terminals/battery?? Is it all corroded?? If so, clean battery terminals. Also clean all grounds in engine compartment. There are 2 next to the battery, 2 next to the iol fill hole and 2 next to the air box assy. Check and clean. Is the check engine light on?? If you have a throttle problem, check engine light should be ON. Let me know. Oh and how many miles on it??

SOURCE: 2002 nissian frontier tailgate is stuck

First thing: Try using the key to move to the locked and then to the unlocked position. If this works, open the tailgate... This also pretty much tells you what the root cause problem is, which is a pressed-in plastic post working its way out (see below).

If no bedliner, just remove metal plate inside tailgate and actuate by hand inside to open. If bedliner, first use a small screwdriver to carefully (don't scratch paint) push in latches at either side of tailgate to open/lower tailgate (if locking/unlocking as above did not work to lower gate and gain access). Next, use two blade screwdrivers to pry out the "buttons" that hold the ends of the tailgate liner where they wrap around the sides, then remove bedliner piece and metal plate, etc.

Once you have access to inside of tailgate, you will see how the mechanism works by pulling up and down on the handle while observing. You will probably find that the slide mechism that locks and unlocks the mechanism has been allowed to move such that it cannot unlock/allow movement of the latching mechanism. This is usually the result of the pressed in plastic anchor being worn/loose. I had some success with cleaning thoroughly with alcohol or brake cleaner, allowing to dry and then using super glue to hold it firmly in all the way. Still have to hold handle up when closing gate and keep key on hand to unlock every time opening, but it was a free repair...

SOURCE: Belts squeal on 1998 Nissian Frontier

Squeal belts usually mean not enough tension. I have had problem with persistance squeling in the past, the problem turn out to be cheap aftermarket belt that keep stretching and wouldn't maintain proper tension, putting brake fluid or any kind of oily liquid on your belt will make it worst not better.

SOURCE: 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt in "limp home mode" code 606

P0606 indicates Control module internal performance. GM is indicating of the replacement ECM. Once replacement is completed reprogramming the ecm is necessary. Locally a few auot parts stores can reflash the ECM.May want to check with a NAPA or Carquest for this otherwise dealer is probably the only option.

  • Using a scan tool, retrieve the percentage of remaining engine oil. Record the remaining engine oil life.
  • Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and Connection in Engine Electrical.
  • jsmes1027_30.gif
  • Disconnect the small engine control module (ECM) harness connector (3) from the ECM.
  • Remove the bolt retaining the large ECM connector to the ECM.
  • Disconnect the large ECM harness connector (4) from the ECM.
  • jsmes1027_31.gif
    Notice: Control module damage may result when the metal case contacts battery voltage. DO NOT contact the control module metal case with battery voltage when servicing a control module, using battery booster cables or when charging the vehicles battery.
  • Use the retaining tab to release the ECM from the underhood junction block bracket.

  • Reverse process for installation

    05 frontier in limp mode no codes transmission just replaced

    If you paid a professional to replace the trans, go back to him first so he can give his opinion. Before you do, check the fluid level of the trans, and the condition of the fluid. Any sign of water?
    But the problem may not be the trans, there could be faults in the engine or cooling system causing the ECU to select limp mode to get you back home.
    Have you scanned the computer directly with a scanner?
    Don't rely on the check engine light for very thing relating to codes.
