limp mode after flat battery

Recommended Posts

Hi all , I unfortunately allowed the battery on my 370 to go flat ( it was used for short journeys and been sitting on my drive for a while unused ) I have charged the battery but on starting the car it appears to have gone into limp mode i.e keeps revving between 1000 and 1500 rpm and won't drive correcly and smells very rich as well, anyone have ideas how to reset it ?

Managed to sort the problem using this pedal dance sequence :

 

 

1) With the key in your pocket/car, push the Engine Start button TWICE (so the car is fully on, but not started)
2) Within three seconds of the car "ON" (again NOT started), Floor (all the way down) and Release the gas pedal fully 5 times within 5 seconds. Do not do this too fast.. 1..2..3..4..5
3) Wait 7 seconds then floor the gas pedal and hold for 10 seconds. After that 10 seconds the Check Engine Light will start to blink slowly.
4) Release the pedal and floor it down once again and hold for 10 seconds. After these 10 seconds the check engine light will disappear then begin to flash much more rapidly. After you have done the following turn the car off and then back on. The ECU is now reset!!
