Hello,

There are number of reasons why the limp mode can get triggered.
Is your check engine light illuminated?
A good first step would be to scan and retrieve error codes as that can help determine the cause of the limp mode.

One of the most common causes for limp mode is having a dirty throttle actuator. Cleaning out the actuator can help.
Take a look at this helpful guide:

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
