Safe to drive. Below — how much time you have and what happens if you keep going.
Urea dosing is interrupted and the ECU is counting. First the lamp, then a torque cut, then a forced crawl speed — the stages come in by engine hours, not all at once.
The truck will not die mid-highway, but the window shrinks with every running hour. Plan the repair now, not when the power is gone: an emulator or "deleting AdBlue" does not remove the problem, the codes keep stacking.
Fill the AdBlue tank. If it’s already full, the problem is dosing or reductant quality — you need a scanner.
