You may want to change the fuel filter. It may have been starved for fuel. You may also have some crud partially blocking the fuel outlet on your fuel tank that was stirred by your turn.

The engine was probably overheating. The engine light comes on only when the engine is very hot and close to boiling over. Make sure the shutter flap on the bottom of the radiator next to the battery is open when using in the summer.
If you get air in the fuel system, in my experience, the engine, if it will start, ,will run very rough until the injector lines are bled. Not a fun process, and if you ever run out of fuel, you will never want to do it again.
If the 950 recovered and was operating normally after that experience, it wasn't hurt
