ECU Forced Low Speed

The Engine Control Unit (ECU) has forced the engine to low speed to protect the system due to an out-of-range operating condition.

Possible causes

  • Slight engine coolant overheating
  • Low oil pressure detected by the ECU
  • Partial restriction in the fuel system
  • Communication error on the CAN data bus

Recommended actions

  • Check engine oil and coolant levels
  • Inspect radiator and condenser for obstructions
  • Check the condition of the fuel filters
  • Clear codes and monitor if the speed limitation persists
