If you have a manual transmission Patriot and you go into limp mode due to throttle body issues, the following will reset it temporarily, while in motion: 1. Clutch/put in neutral. 2. Turn off engine. 3. Turn on engine. 4. Return to correct gear and proceed. Takes about five seconds.
Thank you so much for uploading this video! I just finally got my car running after four months of it sitting. Ur a godsend!!! Thank you thank you thank you!
Just swapped throttle body had limp mode the Zeus lighting bolt of death ☠️ this worked perfect to reset my check engine light 💡 after the part swap thanks 🙏 man 💯
Yeah brother thank you so much fixed my jeep patriot 2010, it conked out on the highway but this got it out of only being able to do like 5-10km/h in some safe mode
My son held down on the cruise control buttons while the jeep was off now below the 2nd big Speedometer in the square box where symbols go when the jeep is off there's dim lit lines from left to right like 4 or 5 with spaces in between each line... after a while of the jeep being off it goes away...?
You might have solved a problem for me. Mine is running great right now but let me tell you the background. I'm just now found out that if you mess with the spare tire it can cause engine problems so I'm on TH-cam trying to figure out what the freak that is because mine years ago all the sudden the lightning bolt would come on and it would rev up and yes I can drive it because I had to I was stuck but it would not go into second gear it sounded like it's an automatic 2014 Patriot. Anyway after several mechanics it was deemed to be a relay. So for about 3 years after that was changed it ran great. Well couple weeks ago I had the oil changed. That same day, as I was doordashing probably 4 hours later the same freaking thing happened. I was stuck in a different town and charged $170 to clean the throttle body and it didn't give me any issues for about another 5 days. Then once I stopped at a red light all the sudden here happened again. I pulled over turn the ignition off and on and miraculously it just hasn't done it again. So I'm wondering if we're the oil company that changed my oil had me to depress my gas pedal.. caused the situationTo happen againAnd it really is not the relay again?? I don't know but it runs fine but I'm scared to drive it out of town. This might be my problem and thank you so much for making this video. But if you have heard of taking the spare tire out and it causing engine problems? Please let me know because I did let someone borrow my spare tire before this happened the first time.. or yes it could have been because I had my oil changed and when it was reset that happened then. Any input would be greatly appreciated by anyone thank you
Well mine went out due to having to change my thermostats, the computer is located directly on top of the engine and where I needed to get to I had to unplug the computer for a second and that’s what caused my issue. So if the people who changed your oil may have accidentally unplugged your computer for a minute or two that could have potentially been the issue. Gotta be careful on who you let work on your vehicle, some people know some real tricky things and will do things like, in your vehicles case, unplug the computer and plug it back up hoping to throw something out of wack in order to get themselves returned service from you.
@@callmehgoku6484 thanks for the reply. I'm not sure that it was the oil change because I was sitting in the car, it was at a quick lube and they didn't specialize in any other work to want me back haha but good thinking. I'm still having trouble with it, off and on. It still could relate back to when I first had the problem... Probably four years ago, was the first time. I did let someone borrow my spare donut Tire and I did see a TH-cam that said could happen somehow it's very weird sounding. I knew nothing about resetting the computer and I had several mechanics looking at it so yeah they changed a relay... And it worked for three years just great no problems..(could off not been the relay... could of been they reset the computer) Fast-forward to the story I told above, I was stuck in a different town (after having the oil change 5 hours prior -at a different facility - sorry left that part out above) but then five days later it did it again and has off and on since then (about 1 year since)... I've been wondering if it's when I haul something in the hatchback, or hit a bump just wrong and that trips up the computer... I still don't know unless I buy a new donut Tire I guess I won't be able to cross that one off my list. But the way I'm getting it to take off the lightning bolt and run correctly is by... turning the key to the on position ( not running) Then back off (not taking the key out) For three times On the third time take the key out of the ignition Then I wait approximately 10 seconds and then I put the key back in and start it and the lightning bolt will be gone... Sometimes the check engine will not be on at that time or I drive it down the road turn it off and on and then the check engine light will go off. I had saw that on a TH-cam also but really thank you for your reply because I forgot your way of resetting it and doing it the other way... so I will try that the next time it does it again But I'm telling you this damn car is driving me absolutely crazy.
You must have either a crank shaft sensor bad, bad throttle body, or mass airflow. I would recommend taking it to get a computer scan to see what codes pop up. And then go off of that
This is a permanent fix. But I will say if your throttle body or anything associated with it is messed up and needs replaced, doing this throttle body reboot will not fix the broken or faulty parts. You must replace whatever is faulty first, then do this. The computer is on top of the air filter so a lot of people unhook the computer to get to the air filter and thus the throttle body just needs reset. Again, if you’ve unplugged your computer it puts your jeep in limp mode and this throttle body reset will take it out of limp mode and remove the lights on the dash. But this throttle body reboot WILL NOT magically fix any broken or faulty parts. You must replace faulty parts BEFORE doing the reboot.
@@callmehgoku6484wow was not expecting a fast reply thank you. I’m constantly replacing the throttle body and the lights keeps coming on . I never touch the computer.
Ok I tried that didn't work any other suggestions? I also removed the negative from battery then ran in neutral and then low drive that didn't work. Suggestions? I really don't have money for dealership
There is a video on here somewhere that tells you how to completely reset your ecm. You basically have to zip tie your negative and positive cables together for about ten minutes and that will drain any remaining power from your engine which will reset your ecm. After that use this video to reset your throttle body and your good to go!
Hey man I recently got a 2014 Jeep Patriot Sport & I got the oil Changed recently and 2 weeks after it started reviving by its self and now it even revs at red lights so I have to sit with the car in neutral so I don’t hit anyone , I get the red lighting bolt from time to Tim but not always . I was wondering if I did this solution if it would fix my problems . I have 129k Miles . No wrecks or anything .
I had that problem before I got the lighting light I changed some stuff .but still the light was on.finally I changed plugs and spark plugs good bye light and problem on my 2016 patriot. Maybe it helps you in something
Can anyone help me!!! My mom has a 2013 jeep Patriot latitude and hers recently went into limp mode with the lighting ⚡ light the engine light the slippery car light replaced the throttle position sensor and still have the same problem start it and it's back into limp mode if we start and turn off a few times everything goes back normal only 98,035 miles
@@WasBlind_NowISee no, a throttle body reboot. Not the actual throttle body. Dont believe me call and ask for yourself they will charge anywhere from 500-1200 depending on your vehicle. And for this Jeep they were going to charge me $784.76 make sure you pay attention before making smart remarks.

is this a temporary fix? did the lighting bolt ever came back on?

I had to replace my throttle body 2yrs ago for $900 at Pep Boys bec I could only drive 12-15 mph
Aww man I hate that they charge wayyyy too much for these kind of things.
I’m having this same issue but engine light never started blinking
What year is it

I had that problem before
I got the lighting light
I changed some stuff .but still the light was on.finally I changed plugs and spark plugs good bye light and problem on my 2016 patriot. Maybe it helps you in something
Literally just replaced our crank shaft sensor.....
K m puedas mndar los pasos x escrito
Nope mine is still shutting off after everything has been replaced
Check mass airflow sensor or anything to do with the throttle
Try resetting your ecm. I put the instructions on how to do this in an earlier comment.
