I don't know what made it happen to you but happened to me last Saturday going up a rough interstate ramp. I jumped on mine with T/C on and at about 40mph there was a momentary shutdown. Just assumed T/C had kicked in for some reason.....maybe tire slip. The T/C light didn't come on....it happened and resolved that quick. Have no way of checking codes. The shutdown was 1-2 sec then full throttle again to 75?

Probably the traction control. The other night mine did that when I went over a rough expansion joint while accelerating and it caused the rear wheels to slip a little.

If you have a DIC, you can check codes. turn the key to run - don't start car - hold down the OPTIONS button and while holding, press FUEL 4 times within 10 seconds. the DIC will then scroll through all the modules and any stored codes. Go here for more info:
