You and Bill are describing two different codes, this is why the confusion.

Pay attention to the prefix of the code if it happens again, as there is both a P1281 (PCM code - accelerator pedal position sensor), and a C1281 (TCS code - steering position sensor).

A P1281 could help trigger Reduced Engine Power mode, but will not by itself - it takes two or more APP codes to set REP mode.
A C1281 is not a PCM code, and can not in any way trigger REP mode..

All codes will have a H (history), and/or a C (current) suffix.
