it wont set off any lights
So in summary limp mode is designed to stop the engine doing damage to itself in the form of over pressuring and blowing gaskets and such other. Ive noticed a lot of the earlier patrol if people keep their foot on the accelerator in limp mode the temps do go up but then drop after throttle released. temps go up due to slight over fueling
