Hi there. Thanks for the question tonight. If the transmission is still stuck in limp mode, the first step is making sure you have the correct Ford factory software and a professional digital scanner to remove the stored code. Most ’stock’ digital scanners do not have this software, as it’s something you need to obtain from the manufacturer. If you don’t have this capability, you need to have a professional mechanic or the Ford dealership complete the scan and remove the limp mode activation before testing whether repairs have been completed.
