Incorrect or Faulty Crank Sensor Installation: If the crank sensor was not installed correctly, it may not be reading the engine's position accurately. This could lead to incorrect signals to the engine's control unit (ECU), which may trigger limp mode.
Damaged Wiring or Connectors: Damage to the wiring or connectors leading to or from the crank sensor could interrupt communication between the sensor and the ECU, resulting in limp mode.
Incompatible Crank Sensor: Ensure you have installed a crank sensor compatible with your specific model of Mitsubishi L200. Using the wrong sensor may not provide accurate signals to the ECU, causing limp mode.
ECU Issues: In rare cases, the limp mode may be caused by a fault in the ECU itself. If the ECU is receiving incorrect signals or if there is a malfunction, it may enter limp mode as a safety precaution.
Other Underlying Problems: Sometimes, limp mode can indicate other underlying issues in the engine or drivetrain. If the problem persists even after confirming the correct installation and functionality of the crank sensor, it's advisable to have your vehicle diagnosed by a qualified mechanic.
