Swift Sport 2015 warning lights and limp mode

Post by plush » Thu Oct 22, 2020 8:41 pm

Hi all,

I recently bought a 2015 Swift Sport and all was fine, but just the other day completely randomly I had what looked like "EPS" and "Transaxle" lights briefly light up on the dash and the car went into limp mode, could not rev past 2k. The limp mode continued but the lights had all gone away. I pulled off the road, switched off and restarted and it's been fine since.

To me this reeks of some kind of wiring issue, system getting corrupt messages lighting the warning lights and putting the engine ECU into limp mode which it then needs to be restarted to clear.

I thought I'd ask on here as it's rare to be the first person to see a particular issue and if I need a garage repair carried out it's best to be armed with some knowledge to avoid being fobbed off. Perhaps there's a common harness or sensor to check, or even a fuse?

An unfortunate first post but hopefully there can be more positive ones to follow!

Any help or insight greatly appreciated!
