The VSS can set a hard code, yes. Anytime the check engine light is on steady, the vehicle is in" limp mode". Meaning that its computer can not go into "closed loop operation" and none of the imput sensors are being addressed , your running on pre-set parameters as in a cold start.

300m that is in limp mode what is the repair for this?
I have a 1999 Chrysler 300M. On two occasions my car went into limp mode. The first time it happened I was cruising down the highway at 70mph when the speedometer suddenly went to zero. The car continued to run normally until I was forced to slow for traffic. As soon as I slowed down, the car went into limp mode and stayed there. The second time it happened, the car went into limp mode but the speedometer continued to work normally. As least with my car, a faulty speed sensor was the cause of the problem on both occasions. The Chrysler mechanic explained that there are two such speed sensors on or in the transmission. He also said those speed sensors tend to fail more than other things.
What is limp mode in a car?
Limp mode or (limp-in mode or limp-home mode)occurs when your computer in your car is not communicating with the sensors on your engine. On some cars(volkswagon Passat for example) If you disconnect the battery then the computer will lose all of the settings and will go into limp-in mode. The car will have little power and a top speed of only about 30 miles per hour. The function of limp-in mode is to get you to a place that can repair the car but the car is barely driveable.
