DSC / Engine Failsafe Mode on Bumps

Battery Checks out...

Happened 3X sofar. Observed during speed (45-65), 1st time DSC lit up, Brake/Abs light on as well. A couple seconds later - engine failsafe mode blipped on and stayed for about 30 seconds. It went away by itself.

Then later, happened 2X, 35 mph, hit a slight bump in road, engine failsafe mode blipped for 2 seconds, engine downshifted hard and went back to correct shift points.

I self-inflicted a problem like this. Perhaps it will give you an idea.

I neatly zip-tied the brake pad wear sensor wire and wheel speed sensor wire out of the way after changing front brake pads. Very proud of the clean look. Then started getting DSC errors every time I turned the wheel hard - hadn't left enough slack and the connector was getting stressed / pulled open when the wheel turned all the way.

Found my issue....Ordered a new T nut as the + got shorted and was blackish with even some metal missing off the top of the screw terminal and part of the nut

Top cover I did not close and apparently it must have touch the bracket above. Noticed it slightly tarnised over these as well. Flipped cover down and all is well -- I think
