Don't know. Like I said this is far from my area of expertise and my theory could be full of crap. The only part I know for sure is that the system does a diagnostic check periodically and if the problem happens consistently at the same speed that would indicate some sort of regular event nota random short. The lights going out wouldn't be a planned function anyway just a glitch of some sort.
Some strange shit goes down when talking ECM/BCUs screwing up.
