Strange Happening!

Something really strange happened to my '08 RK. When I left the house to head out for a ride, the idle was kind of fast, I just assumed it to be the cold start. However, when I got to the gas station, plenty of time for it to warm up, the idle was still too fast. Next step was to apply Harleys crazy "patch" fix by turning the ignition on and off 5 times to return it to the factory idle. I couldn't remember if I had to start it on the 5th "on" or turn it back off and turn it on one more time to start. Well anyway, I did the 5 "on's" and started it on the 5th "on". Idle didn't change, so I figured it must be 5 "on's" then start on the 6th. That's when the Gremlin took hold! It started, had a little choke on startup, however, the engine light was on and I did not have any throttle control at all. I then turned the ignition off again, waited a few seconds, turned on the ignition and nothing - the start button was totally dead, only light on was the security key light. Then I though maybe my FOB battery was dead, however the security lights were not flashing. I then turned the ignition off again, waited a minute or so, tried it again and it started and ran fine the rest of the day, even after several more starts throughout the day.
I check the diag codes when I got home and there were two (not sure if they were old or new):
The codes appeared under the "P" heading and they were:
P 1511 - EFI Power Management Mode
P 2101 - EFI Motor circuit Range Performance (Actuation Error)

By turning the ignition switch on 6 times, did I enter some Diag mode to cause this - any suggestions or comments?

Thanks, Sketz
