Vehicle Speed Limiter

The PCM disables some or all of the fuel injectors whenever a vehicle over speed condition is detected. The purpose of the vehicle speed limiter is to prevent damage to the powertrain. Once the driver reduces the excessive vehicle speed, the engine returns to the normal operating mode. No repair is required. However, the technician should clear the DTCs and inform the customer of the reason for the DTC.

Excessive wheel slippage may be caused by sand, gravel, rain, mud, snow, ice, or excessive and sudden increase in RPM while in NEUTRAL or while driving.
