    If it is in limp mode the Check Engine light should be on and it would be necessary to retrieve codes stored in the computer of your car that would be the reason why the computer has decided to put the transmission in limp home mode.

    Yes the CHECK ENGINE light is on... Did I use the right ATF fluid? Can my OBD2 machine get the codes?
