If you do a simple ECU reset it should clear the limp mode and won't wipe the litchfield map. It doesn't over-write it just restarts.

Mine went into limp mode years back and a simple ECU reset sorted it. Been perfect ever since.

Make sure you read all the codes including the stored old codes to make sure nothing else is wrong.

Not all ODB2 readers will allow you to reset the ECU. I know mine doesn't and from a quick check I am not sure your ODB Fusion software allows you to do this either.

Yes, just find an ODB2 code reader tool that can also reset the ECU. Some can do this.
