Default Active Handling failure

Not sure what is going on but the after a straight ahead "punch" on the throttle I received a DIC warning and "reduced power" activation and check engine light. Pulled the Vette over, shut it off for about 10 seconds, restarted and the warning cleared itself but check engine light still on. Shut it off again and restarted and the check engine light went out and has stayed out now for about 2 weeks (400 mi). Any one else ever had this and what was your problem??? Second time this has happened on my 01 Vette (42K mi) in the last 1000 miles.

Mine has come on a couple times after minor foot flourishes. It has disappeared in a couple days. I have successfully ignored it!
No problems with the reduced power with this, however.
