Finally managed to get my car into limp mode (unintentionally, of course!). Was ‘trying out’ a Autel DS808 scanner to see if it would do a throttle relearn procedure. It connected fine. Gave me the option to do a relearn. When I clicked on that option, it tried actuating the throttle (I could hear clicks) but ended up giving an error that it could not communicate to it. I tried it a few times and gave up.
Then I went to start the car to make sure I had not messed anything up in the process. The car turns, but MIL comes on and nothing happens when I press the gas pedal. The codes are P2166 and P2167.
Anyone ever come across this issue? Any solutions other than towing it to the dealer? Any help is appreciated.
PS- This experiment with the scanner was to prep me for the Mopar ECU I would be installing in it soon. I wanted to see if this scanner would give me the option to do a relearn. Lesson learned- do not experiment on the stock ECU. 😬
PPS- I got a guy coming with a higher end scanner that (per Autel’s tech support) has the ability to program ECUs on these vehicles. Would definitely be cheaper than the dealer if it does get fixed.
