2 A reduced power light usually indicates a serious problem with the throttle system of your car. A reduced power light usually indicates a serious problem with the throttle system of your car.

3 When this light illuminates the car will often go into a safe mode which will severely limit the speed of the car and in some cases will make the car undrivable. When this light illuminates the car will often go into a safe mode which will severely limit the speed of the car and in some cases will make the car undrivable.

4 Since the reduced power light can get illuminated for a number of reasons, finding the exact reason is extremely important. Since the reduced power light can get illuminated for a number of reasons, finding the exact reason is extremely important.

5 If the car is not properly diagnosed and fixed, the reduced power light will illuminate again and will put the car in the safe mode.

7 When the car’s computer detects a fault in the engine which affects its performance, transmission or emission system it will illuminate the reduced power light. When the car’s computer detects a fault in the engine which affects its performance, transmission or emission system it will illuminate the reduced power light.

8 Moreover, it will also illuminate if there is an issue with the electronic throttle, the accelerator pedal or the throttle module. Moreover, it will also illuminate if there is an issue with the electronic throttle, the accelerator pedal or the throttle module.

9 If your car goes into a reduced power mode, it will affect its performance as some vehicle will be restricted to idle speed while others will be restricted to speed up to 30 miles per hour. If your car goes into a reduced power mode, it will affect its performance as some vehicle will be restricted to idle speed while others will be restricted to speed up to 30 miles per hour.

10 However, the reduced power trigger will save Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) which will indicate the source of the fault.

13 A throttle body is part of the of the air intake system which helps control the amount of air going into the engine.

14 If a throttle body is failing the engine will not get the correct mixture of air and fuel and will illuminate the reduced power light as well as lead to a poor running engine. If a throttle body is failing the engine will not get the correct mixture of air and fuel and will illuminate the reduced power light as well as lead to a poor running engine.

16 The throttle position sensor informs the car's computer about the position of the gas pedal and the computer uses this information to calculate the proper amount of air and fuel to send to the engine.

17 Moreover, the throttle position sensor also controls shifting the gears of a car which means that a faulty throttle position sensor will prevent a car from changing gears which will trigger reduced power light. Moreover, the throttle position sensor also controls shifting the gears of a car which means that a faulty throttle position sensor will prevent a car from changing gears which will trigger reduced power light.

19 The engine control unit is a vital component of the car as it regulates and controls many systems, including the Drivetrain and parts of the engine.

20 If any problem is detected in this crucial component, it can trigger the reduced power light as well as the check engine light. If any problem is detected in this crucial component, it can trigger the reduced power light as well as the check engine light.

22 Exposed or damaged wires can cause issues with the any of these components and can illuminate the reduced power light.

23 A loose wiring crimp can also be the culprit and wiring issues can be difficult to find out so seeking the assistance of a professional is necessary.

25 The above-mentioned factors are some of the reasons behind the illumination of the reduced power light.

26 Whenever you come across the illumination of reduced power light, then take your car to an automotive shop to diagnose and fix the issue.
