Can I keep driving

Safe to drive. Below — how much time you have and what happens if you keep going.

What happens if you keep driving

Time you have: To the nearest safe stop

The electrical system is not holding voltage. While the engine runs the alternator carries it; shut it off and you may not restart.

Next the lights go, then modules start dropping out and false codes appear all over the truck. Get to somewhere with help without shutting the engine down.

What to check on the spot

Check the battery terminals and earth strap — corrosion and loose clamps throw false codes all over the truck. Running voltage should be 27–29 V.
