If your 2009 Dodge Caliber goes into limp mode while driving, make sure to stop at a safe location and restart the engine. Keep the car completely off for at least one minute before turning it back on. This procedure often resets the limp mode, allowing the vehicle to function normally. Limp mode is a safety feature in cars that helps prevent further damage and enables you to drive to a service center. When the engine or transmission control unit identifies a problem, limp mode activates, shutting off non-essential components like air conditioning and reducing the car's speed.
To get a 2009 Dodge Caliber out of limp mode, you'll have to use an OBD II scan tool to clear the code.
