#1: STOP limp mode??? Author: scottishdave, Location: ScotlandPosted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 2:48 pm ---- Hi
The missus had got a 206 with a crappy al4 gearbox, it keeps flashing the ice and sports buttons and goes into limp mode.
Now I'm going to get her a new gearbox off the warranty but is there anyway I can stop the car going into limp mode?
Or stop it from flashing the sport and snow button as it very annoying.
I know it needs fixing but I will get around to it eventually, I know you can restart the car and restarts the sensors but is there any other solutions?

No its aftersales warranty mate when my missus bought the car.

The (AL4) autoadaptive automatic gearbox is lubricated for life .
All that is required is an oil level check at 60000 km .
Despite that, the automatic gearbox has a system for measuring oil quality .
The AL4 autoadaptive automatic gearbox ECU has an oil wear sensor .
For a given time interval, the counter increases by a certain number of units (of wear) depending on the temperature of the gearbox .
When the counter is exhausted, the gearbox ECU informs the driver of the presence of a fault by the flashing of the Sport and Snow indicator lights on the instrument panel .
Using the diagnostic equipment, the technician checks whether or not it is necessary to replace the gearbox oil .

Same gearbox, same mileage here
I dont think you'll be able to stop it from going into Limp mode. You'll need to get the codes read first to find out what the cause is.
