Default this problem really scared me !!!!

Yesterday, I went to a public parking lot and look for a parking space. I stop my GS4 on the side and wait for anyone to leave. AT that time, I was totally stop and still had my gear on "D", then I released the brake padel first and put the gear on the " R " in order to back up. After I did that, the whole car jump and the rpm went up to 2K. Also on the dash broad the " check engine light" and the two lights of the " VSC " was on!!!!
Then I shut down the car and start up again for couples time, but all those lights are still on!
Then I tried to disconnect the battery and put back on after 5 mins. Fortunately, all the lights gone!!!!!

I had to replace the throttle position sensor on my car when these lighst cam on. May wanna take it to the dealer and have them check the codes. Maybe places like autozone and advance auto parts can pull the codes for you without having to take it to a dealer and paying diagnostic fees.

The codes will most likely still be stored. Go by Autozone and they can run them for you.
