Default Limp mode.. help!

17 z07 m7.. playing around.. somewhere around 160 went to limp mode, engine light on.. didn't do a CAI just to avoid this.

mods: corsa helix, MF catback, Mamo PTB, BMS filter.

Got 3 Onstar notifications today stating:
- issue with ABS
- issue with Stability control system
- issue with engine and transmission!

Really?? WTF?? time to invest in a OBD reader!!

Any ideas?

It's the extra airflow from the BMS air filter.

As stated above Bulletin 17-NA-264 will fix you right up. I went through the same thing.

FYI - Start and Stop the engine 3 times and the code will clear to get you out of limp mode.
