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.

Either excessive wheel slippage caused by sand, gravel, rain, mud, snow, ice or excessive RPM increase in neutral may cause the vehicle speed limiter to activate even though the vehicle has not exceeded the maximum speed limit.
