Had a missing cylinder. Bad spark plug. Runs great but the engine fail safe light comes on after driving a bit and the check engine light doesn't. When I start the truck the fail safe turns off.

Connect it to a professional grade scan tool computer.

Sometimes the engine failsafe mode is triggered due to a sensor failure or an electrical glitch. It's also common for a security system fault to engage this warning light, which means it's not always a mechanical issue that's causing the failsafe.

I have an 05 Suzuki Forenza that has a flashing check engine light. This started on Tuesday. Had the codes looked up. Car is driving shaky and dash lights are blinking. Any ideas?

fix the anti freeze leak --before you blow a head gasket

what your codes mean

Check Engine Light On, P0300 Random Misfire Code. A random misfire means your engine is misfiring, but that the problem is not isolated to one or two cylinders. It is jumping around in a random way from one cylinder to another. A random misfire code usually means the air/fuel mixture is running lean.

What the P0700 code means. P0700 is set when the PCM detects a malfunction in the transmission control system. This malfunction causes the vehicle to set a Check Engine Light and trigger a failsafe mode. Once the failsafe mode is set it will remain until the fault is repaired or normal operation is detected.

My ford explorer 2005 has a engine failsafe mode

Check engine light on , failsafe mode . The first thing to do would be to hook up a scan tool an check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's . Was the vehicle overheating ? Failsafe mode will shut the vehicle off to save the engine if it is over heating . Do you know if the vehicle has electronic throttle control ? Was their a yellow wrench symbol lit on the instrument cluster as well ?

What does failsafe engine mode mean?

Hi there, Failsafe engine mode means that there's something wrong with your car. This feature limits you to 30% throttle to allow you to get safely off the highway or to a shop. It is a safety feature so you're not stranded somewhere.
This is most commonly seen when the brake switch goes - it is possible to fix it with a lot of WD40 to get the contacts going again. The brake switch is under the dash connected to the brake arm.
If you take it into a shop, they may want to replace it. It will be at least $50 for the part.

Failsafe engine mode

The failsafe mode can appear following numerous faults being detected - some faults can be momentary and register but not cause a problem. These are normally reset by just turning ignition off/on. get the fault code memory read at a garage and this may give you a clue as to a possible problem developing. Failsafe mode will give you reduced engine performance but will allow you to drive for normally some distance. If a serious problem developes your car message centre will tell you to shut off the engine or it will shut it down.
good luck.

Hello! Fail safe mode is when the vehicle's computer detects a serious problem an allows you to "limp" off the road or highway safely.

Fail safe mode on a Jaguar is mainly caused by a dirty and gummed up throttle body. The throttle body on your auto has a protective coating, so you can not use just any cleaner. It requires a throttle body cleaner that states "safe to use with a protective coating". The butterfly valve in the throttle body will actually "stick out". This causes fail safe mode to kick in reducing the amount of power your engine can produce.

Also check the plugs on your ECM (computer) and make sure they are all seated properly.

Failsafe engine mode on a 2000 jaguar s type is caused by a stopped up throttle body. Jaguar says not to clean the throttle body since it has a protective coating to help keep deposits from accumulating. You can clean the throttle body as long as you use ONLY throttle body cleaner that states it is safe to use with a protective coating. The butterfly valve in the throttle body will actually stick not allowing air to flow into the manifold causing failsafe engine mode to kick in reducing the amount of power your engine will produce. To solve the issue just clean out your throttle body, it will cost you around $5 dollars and take 1 hour of your time.

When the fail safe light comes on the
PCM has detected a fault and goes into a restricted mode to prevent
damage to the engine and transmission. It can be a brake switch or
possibly a problem with the electronic throttle. You will need to have
the fault codes read from the PCM with a compatible scan tool. If you
do not want to go to the dealer you can try your local parts store, autozone
or pepboys as they will usually scan for codes at no charge. Once you
have the code numbers let me know what they are so I can assist you
with the diagnosis and repair.
