When your Honda Accord or any vehicle goes into limp mode, it usually indicates a serious problem with the transmission. To reset limp mode, the most effective method is to retrieve and address the diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) from your engine or transmission. While restarting the engine after a 10-15 minute break might resolve the issue at times, a more comprehensive repair is often necessary. Start by checking the transmission fluid level as low fluid can trigger various problems leading to limp mode. If this is not the cause, you will require an OBD-II scan tool to access the fault codes, which will guide you towards the appropriate solution.

I recently performed this trick on an Accord when my fiancée ran out of gas again. Soon after refueling, the car went into limp mode. After contacting a dealer for advice, I followed their suggestion to disconnect the battery terminals and securely connect them together using a zip tie or vice grip for an hour. This should help drain any leftover charge in the system and fully reset the ECU, getting the car out of limp mode. This simple solution worked for me and saved me from having to tow the car 30 miles to the dealership for a Honda factory system reset using a laptop.
