    I would take it in and get it checked out by a Can Am mechanic. It sounds like maybe your nanny isn't working right. Sometimes there could be a loose wire or bad sending unit.
    Good luck.

    Could you have possibly had your foot hovering over the brake?

    Take it in and have it checked out. Possible the oil filter is collapsing and when the engine isn't running, it will open up to let some oil flow through it.

    Ann's ST does this. The brake light sticks which issues an VSS error and then will send it into Limp Home mode. No she's not riding the brake. I could replicate the issue in the garage by pressing the brake pedal half way down and the pedal returned too slowly. The brake light would then stick. Had it to the shop several times and it wasn't fixed. I finally took the panels off and found the cam at the end was very dirty with road crud. I cleaned it up with WD40 at the cam and pivot. Then once the WD40 was relatively dry, I sprayed lithium grease on the pivot and cam, worked pedal up and down, and repeated with lithium grease. Problem fixed.

    Anyhow this is an easy test to either identify the problem or eliminate it. It could be a different problem as others stated.
