leafy Member 21 Member For: 12y 6m 24d Posted 31/10/12 01:20 PM Share Posted 31/10/12 01:20 PM my ba xr6t is now in limp mode,no speedo, in sequential shift mode, will only go into 1st n 2nd than hit roughly 3000rpm and it shudders than feels like its stuck in third.things ive tried so far- had a mechanic scan it and showed speed sensor error, would not let us clear error and nothing shows up when error happens.- checked all fuses and relays- cleaned speed sensors on all 4 wheels.- ran flash tuner on all 3 modes plus factory, no luck- disconnected battery for 10 minutes- changed from 19s to 17swhat suggestions of things to check next?

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 22y 16d Gender: Male Posted 31/10/12 03:19 PM Share Posted 31/10/12 03:19 PM pretty sure the VSS is in the gearbox extension housing. The wheel sensors do ABS and traction control but not speedo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82659-no-speedo-limp-mode/#findComment-1318387 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can have my car sitting for 2 weeks and it cranks over without a struggle. that's on a 3yr old battery.

leafy Member 21 Member For: 12y 6m 24d Posted 01/11/12 02:10 AM Author Share Posted 01/11/12 02:10 AM Put a new battery in just than it idles better but still throws into limp mode.Checked gearbox oil its all clean and full still.put boost gauge back in and it throws out at 5psi not sure if this is part of it.im guessin limp mode is caused by speedo being out?
