Exclamation Low tire pressure = Safe Mode

The other day the low pressure warning light came on. Colder weather here causes some slight lowering of tire pressure. I checked the tire pressure and started to drive to the gas station to fill it up. The car had the Slipping warning light come on and the car went into Safe Mode. Nothing above 2,000RPM. Got the car to mechanic at dealer. Bottom line, the low tire pressure caused the right rear tire to rotate at a different rate than the left rear tire. Therefore Safe Mode. Tire had a nail in it. Tire plugged. Car now runs fine. Codes showed up as Slipping. All very strange.
