Hello all,

Over the past couple of days I have noticed that my steering has been very sluggish on my Vauxhall Astra MK4 G 2001. At first I thought it was the tyres were just low on pressure, but they were fine. The steering became worse and worse, very sluggish, almost delayed steering.

Anyway out of curiosity, I did the pedal test trick on my car to manually read the fault codes, and I found out that the car was in Limp Home Mode. It showed the following error codes...

P1525 Limp Home Position Error C-09

P1550 Electronic Throttle Control Reduced Power C-09
P1550 Electronic Throttle Control Forced Idle C-09
P1550 Electronic Throttle Control Power Management C-09
P1550 Electronic Throttle Control Engine Stop C-09

I previously had a problem with my throttle body being bunged up, which I fixed by flushing the throttle body through with carb cleaner, then got error codes wiped. 2 months later and I have this problem.. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
