I have an 06 rubicon that seems to be stuck in low gear. It has D1 D2 ESP and these keep flashing and when i put it in reverse it miss fires like crazy. I was running it pretty hard through the deep snow. Any suggestions would be helpful before I take it back to the dealer and get charged through the nose to fix it.

 

It is in limp mode, where the computer detects a problem...

This thread describes the procedure to get the computer to flash out a diagnostic trouble code. Try that, and post back what you get.

Rubicon Code Reading

(Man, maybe there needs to be a sticky on reading Rubicon codes, and what the codes are).

 

how hard were u running it. sounds like u gout stuck pretty bad. should of gotten a bigger honda.............hahahahahahaha

 

sorry it took so long to get back. It flashes 11 times and then just keeps repeating those 11 flashes. I tried to clear the codes like gimpster suggested but nothing has changed. What does 11 flashes mean?

 

Hey pyro??? Your Grounded. HAHAHAHA. I'll plow you up in a big pile. If I can get this thing fixed

 

11 is ECM motor driver circuit. Book says likely cause is ECM, but later it gives some things to try first.

It says to check the 5p connector on the ECM and the 2p connector on the motor.

It then says to pull the 5P ecm connector and check voltage between red/yellow wire and ground. If less than 11, bad wire between ecm and battery.

Then check for continuity between the green terminal and ground. If none, bad ground wire.

Then disconnect both the 5P and motor 2P connectors and check for continuity between the two connectors. If one is open, bad wire somewhere.

It then says to check for continuity between the 2 pins on the motor side to see if it's abnormal, but it doesn't say what normal is. Usually a person would expect a few ohms on an electric motor. You could probably pull it and apply voltage across the pins to make sure it spins.

Then it says to connect everything back up and turn it on. No error code= temporary problem that went away. Still getting 11 means bad ECM. Replace and do the initilization thing.

Anyway, that's what the book says. Maybe Gimpster will give us some other ideas.

 

thanks for getting back to me. I will try these checks this weekend and will let you know how I make out.

 

ya what ever old man you cant even catch me im so much more faster than u are. but what ever i will see u tomorrow.......
