Hi Dread. Thanks for sending in your question. Usually, this type of issue occurs when the "limp mode" is engaged. This can happen when the ECU detects a mechanical or electrical problem with the transmission or other drive-line systems. It’s very difficult to determine exactly what needs to be fixed without having a professional mechanic complete a warning light inspection.
