Hi, I'm RVinTX. Found you while searching SCC issue & Limp mode HELP plz

[vinceandruth]

I own and love a 2016 Genesis 3.8l sedan. However, today I was in cruise control, so as not to speed thru a school zone, and the car threw a code. It gave a message for a second or two about a SCC malfunction, and went into limp mode. Didn't know there was such a thing til I started asking about why my car suddenly felt like it has a "governor" on it. Anyone know about this malfunction? They are telling me to tow it in. UGH! I just had the 60K service done (a bit early) and noticed things were a bit different. I'm wondering if something went amiss with that maintenance. Thoughts? Is this going to be a big deal?

Go to a auto parts supply house and get the OBDIi code read so you know what the issue is. Most auto parts houses will read codes for free for you. Then you will know if your going to be bent over a lot at the dealer or just a little.

Done! Hubby did it tonite. Thanks. Sounds like its a sensor. Cannot clear the code without actually fixing it. Which means its in limp mode til fixed. :-/
