Default dash/rpm cuts out for split second when I hit a bump in the road...

Dash rpm needle drops to zero (shuts off) and engine cuts out for a split second when i hit a bump in the road. Traction light also turns on (the one betweem MPH and RPM gauge).

Last thing I did was re-install the ECU flashed by Technique tuning.

I'll be checking my connector again... but is there anything else that could cause this? what kind of sensor or connection would be this sensative to bumps?

I would check the Battery terminals as they need to be pressure connected and clean of corrosion

A loose ground connection could also easily be the culprit. Check the engine to frame ground strap.
