This is particularly annoying because when an SR20DET ECU is in this "limp mode" the consult port does not function, nor will the self-diagnostic modes (flashing lights) making it that much harder to diagnose.
This is not limp mode, there is no way for the ecu to protect the engine, if you drive with the ecu in this condition you will blow your engine! Yes, if you have a failed daughterboard installed it can cause the ecu led to stay lit, that is not limp mode.
If you install an ecu that is broken it will not automatically revert to limpmode. If you have detonation with the ecu and the led is lit it will not switch you over to the knock map. Not fucking limp mode

The SR20DET does indeed have a "limp mode" . It defaults to pre-stored values under certain conditions which are hard coded into the ECU and illuminates the red LED on the ECU
Yes the ecu does have a limp mode, if you can't read any data from the ecu it is not limp mode, if you have a board installed and you have jumpers set what makes you think it would read from the stock tune. just pull the chips out and you revert back to stock right?

Not a fucking kid! but glad you found new help good fucking luck!
