I think this may be a different version of the common N55 limp mode discussed in the other threads.

From my experience I entered a limp mode when the temp was completely normal and consequently when the aux fans spooled up at full capacity my temps quickly dropped to less than the 1/4 mark on the temp gauge.

I think your limp mode may have been a legit limp mode. In the other cases the cars entered limp mode during normal, easy driving. Yours worked as designed, was ran hard, got hot, and went into limp to protect itself and cool down the motor.
