Had a bit of a freak out when it happened to me just last month when trying to go up my street that hadn't been plowed yet and was spinning tires the whole way but no engine codes when I stopped. Car seemed to be running normally, just no TC. Nothing I could have done that day so I parked it and was going to take it into the dealership the next day. On the way, the lights went off. I asked about it anyway and that's when they told me about the ice mode.

I'm not sure this is right. I have never had lights linger after ice mode, and it has never required a restart.
