    Limp mode. Whatever code you’re throwing is potentially bad enough to cause damage to the engine. Not always that serious, could just be the SAIS, but it’s worth looking into.

    It could be anything ignition related as well. I've gotten both CEL and traction control lights from forgetting to plug in spark plugs after change.

    The traction control uses the ignition to cut engine power, so it's disabled when you have an issue.
