Possible Limp Mode?

So today I went out with a buddy to do some snow "drifting" in my 07 ex. While in the midst of fish-tailing down a straight road, I lost control and ended up backwards. Fearful of slamming a curb I did what most idiots to and lock up the brakes and forget about the clutch, stalling the car while sliding backwards. When I turned my car back on my engine light was on and my rev limiter stopped at 3500 rather than 7000-7200rpms. When I went to run my codes I turned the car back on and the refs were back to 7000 but the light is still on. Is this limp mode or something else.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

My buddy's code reader wouldn't link to my car. But it fixed itself within an hour or two.
