Default CEL '00 Civic SI

The other day I was driving down the turnpike and my CEL came on. I got it scanned and it read VTEC System Malfunction. It happened at about 98 mph. After it came on the car was in limp mode. I'm curious on what could cause this problem. Thanks in advance for the help.

Is the engine oil low?

Also check the screen in the VTEC solenoid. It may be clogged.
