98 seville sls

Last night while driving my 98 seville sls the "speed limited to 90" message came up. This morning the message did not appear. What does this mean? Do i have anything to worry about?

I have had that happen to me once when my water pump went out and I was over heating. The computer also turned off the AC and cranked up the heater.

I can't remember if it also happens when traction control is engaged or not. My traction control will engage if I pull out of a parking lot too quickly and the combination of the turn and grade difference makes the car bounce around some. As soon as traction control stops the 90 MPH limiter stops also.

I have owned my '99 for about 2.5 years now, and saw that message pop up twice. I cleared the codes and ran it up past 90 just to be sure...no problems. Both times for me, it happened in freezing weather. So it's either a sensor, a loose wire/bad connector/a part with water in it/or just a loss of communications. I will get an AMP code once in a great while but that's considered pretty normal. I'm betting on temporary loss of communications.
