Michael, First off at one time you did hit an over rev condition. The slip
indicated sporadic. That is what it was sporadic. If during the next drive
cycle you had an over rev condition it would be stored as an hard code. The LDP
is stored as a hard code. This is what tripped the light to come on.. The LDP
circuit will have to checked for loose connections or a defective part.

We apply stabilant to air bag connectors whenever we receive this sporadic
code. If the same DTC comes on again the air bag component should be replaced.
