Hi,

I would like to ask if car suddenly go into limp mode while driving and cause engine stop. Is it any way to reset the limp mode so the car still can drive and not stuck in middle of some where ?

Thanks

When I got an EPC light in my car a couple months back, I would just restart it. It'd run fine, but I wouldn't go WOT.
Pretty rare for it to just randomly suddenly go into limp mode though. (iirc)
However, if it does try new coils / spark plugs.

With limp mode you should have an EPC light on the dashboard. When you restart the car it will reset but it is not fixed.
You can then drive again but if you try to use too much power it will trigger limp mode again. Do not start buying parts hoping to fix it. An EPC light can be tricky to diagnose. Often it will be wastegate related but still needs to be diagnosed. See link below for an explanation.

while running or when starting? I did read when running but want to check.

If running check battery connections. If at start-up check battery

It stop while running in low speed, and engine suddenly stop. When i turn the key on without start engine the power steering is functioning.

As normally our power steering only function when the engine is running and power steering is not function before engine start.

If your engine won't start you need to find out why...

Could be a bad alternator?

On point. How old is the battery? If it's more than 3 years old, replace it.

After left over night at workshop and did nothing the car back to normal can start without engine check light but not dare to drive it. Plan to bring back official service center to check again.
