Limp mode on hard turns......wtf

so....a few weeks back i was out driving and came across a VERY sharp cut back....there's a bump, big, at the apex...and the whole car came off the ground and rotated a little before hitting all four wheels down....as SOON as it hit, the CEL came on and the airbag light... So i try to pull the codes but the code reader I bought doesn't pull them... I haven't had a chance to buy another or swing by anywhere to get them pulled....so, I just reset the ecu and all was fine for week or so.

I was out doing some more sporty driving and under hard accerleration and very hard turns....the friggin CEL pops on and the damn car goes into limp mode!!! it's done this 3 times now! I can do a rolling restart and limp mode is gone...but the CEL remains until I park the car for a while....

Any ideas? I was thinking maybe a roll over safety switch problem???

Should I just go hit some curves and then immediately go get the codes checked?? lol...

Definitely get the codes checked if you read any other forums on limp mode there are several different reason for a car to go into limp mode but no definite answer.
