Limp mode.. where to start - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey all, have a supercharged brz. Was sitting up for a couple months now after a battery charge and service it's in limp mode. Running an ecutek ECU and custom map. Flashed the codes and nothing that would cause limp mode. No dash lights.

Any ideas where to start?

Cleared them but the same code persists for the AC unit

Did you accidentally put in Valet mode?

I've tried the 4 maps that are installed on the car. Not sure if there is a valet mode or how to put it in/get it out

Map 4 is usually set up as Valet. Manual cars use the cruse control to select different maps. Are you manual and pulling back on it and switching through using the RPM?

Yes exactly that mate. Wasn't sure if there was a separate thing for valet mode but all maps are the same
