This is a very easy how-to on resetting a throttle body from limp-home-mode for most OG9-3 and NG900’s (and some 9-5’s). The dealership will charge you LOTS …

I had an issue when my battery failed while in drive causing the car to
shut down. I replaced my battery but then it went into limp home mode. i
reset the throttle body like in the video pulled the fuse and waited. When
i started my car it is still in limp mode according to the dash light but
the throttle body is acting like it is not in limp mode, I am afraid to
drive my car now.
What causes this code and fault?
THANKS ALOT! was wondering where TCS light, tranny light, and 500rpms came
from. Easy fix. even turbo is boosting better. very happy hope it fixes it
for good.
Check Engine Light
What is a CEL?
my saab 93 2.2 lacks in power for example if i’m in third gear at 50mph it
just dies and then i’ll put it in forth and then i can accelerate again
does this sound like the limp home mode? i’m new to saab and diesel tbh
does anyone know what is happening with my car? thanks in advance!
Excellent video, thanks, much appreciated.
when you get a CEL. your ECU stores codes. Certain codes trigger limp home
mode.
Excellent! Thank you for an easy to follow video. Well done!
Thanks for this, had to use it today
fantastic !!!!!! disconected the battery, followed instructions
and……miracle !!! it works !! thank you !!!
top video got us out of the shit today 🙂
If you dont pull fuse 17, i think it is 17, youre not resetting then error
message from the throttle body.
Is there a way to completely remove the possibility of the ‘Limp Home Mode’
activating? Upgraded throttle body perhaps? 😀
Thanks, followed instructions and all is well, have to disconnect the
battery which cleared the service nag as well! so dashboard doesn’t look
like blackpool / coney island any more ie no more lights, Fooled two local
garages. Thanks again, a real help
Thank you! You are an Angel. Just want to mention to everyone, If your
check engine light is already on you will have to pull the cord to the
battery to reset your car before restarting, or else your car will go right
back into Limp home mode.
tack
so this is only necessary if your CEL is on? About a year and half ago. My
CEL and Check Gearbox were on, 2 months later they went away. Haven’t come
back since. lol
