So I've had this happen a couple of times now. First was after tuning. Then again while tuned. Then today when returned to stock.

Driving in D with throttle at least 3/4 going uphill, hit 100, and engine light will flash for one minute, then go out. While flashing, engine will "lug" if throttle is applied.

This only happens when going uphill and in fourth. If I redline any other gear going uphill it won't do it. Going WOT on an onramp to 120, redlining every gear, it won't do it.

No wrench, no codes, just the flashing engine light and after a minute I can take it right back to 100-120 like it never happened.

Stock. No I don't sustain 120 but sometimes it happens when passing someone.

Autobahn?

I asked about the limiter because on my 5 Star, it shows Stock value but I can adjust it up to 125mph or just turn it off. I don't know what it does by default but I changed mine to make sure.

Yes on the Autobahn. I set it at 110 when I retuned it after the dealership visit today. No point in playing with fire.
