For 2004 + models that would be a safe mode, a computer not liking a signal, or not getting a signal.  If you can't read the codes, it may be a loss of power to one or a part of one of the Control Modules, or one of the sensors.  A missing or broken ground will cause same thing.
Have you worked on anything?
