Limp home mode is a condition where one (or more) of the engines sensors has failed or producing silly input to the engines computer. Some sensor failures can be compensated for by the engine management system using default figures and allowing the engine to still operate in a 'limp home' mode - but the engine will not perform well and it will affect the fuel consumption.
To have it checked, you need to take it to a garage which has suitable diagnostic equipment. Another alternative is that you can buy a diagnostic adaptor to plug into your PC - look up 'ELM 327'.
