Yesterday I was driving my 98 honda civic, drove it probably 20 miles then I look down and the battery light went on I was okay maybe my battery is not charging. Then the SRS light came on, then my lights dimmed really bad, then the whole dash went out. So I started to head back to my house because I didn't want to stop and wait for a tow truck to come save me. When driving back I guess my car went into limp mode, which I think doesn't allow the car to go over 2,000rpm even though I didn't know how fast nor how much rpm I was pulling because the whole dash went out. Has this happen to anyone. Today I turned the car on and everything is fine however there is a check engine light on now. Which I know I should take it to a shop but I just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem before thanks guys!

It wouldn't surprise me if the alternator is bad. AutoZone will check codes for free.
