Hello,

The car is in limp mode becasue of the voltage drop. I would replace the battery and then clear the codes. Here are two guides to help us fix the problem.

Car electical lights turn on and car goes in to limp mode, I have had the catalytic converter changed and exhaust and all the wires checked. I was just wondering if no oil in the engine would do this to the car.
