Does Code 36 put the car in "Limp Home Mode"

Hey there guys, just this quick question.

My car has been a headache, and continues to be. However I finally drove her for the first time this year over the past week (also in extreme heat), and she drove pretty well.

I had gotten an alleged NOS MAF sensor last year and although it succeeded in providing the proper values for the sensor, I immediately got a code 36.

Due to my OCD brain, I couldn't drive the car with this code, so I used the aftermarket sensor with the higher values (giving me very rich results in my fuel trim). This unit didn't give me the Burn Off code, and I drove it until storage last fall.

Fast forward again, and the aftermarket sensor no longer works. I put the NOS sensor back in, the car now runs and idles properly, minus a bit of knock at WOT.

I've opted to put tape over the SES light for the time being.

I spent a lot of time trying to eliminate this code last year, and I have a few more things to trouble shoot...

HOWEVER, Long story short, does this code set the car into "Limp" mode?

Thank you!
