Can a car go into power reduced mode?

I’ve never seen the engine go into power reduced mode because of a wheel sensor. Not saying it can’t happen, but I think you have something else going on. Although you may still have powertrain warranty, I don’t believe many engine sensors or the throttle body are covered by it.
