The automated manual gearbox drops into limp-home mode and leaves you with one or two gears, or neutral. By frequency: air pressure in the gearbox circuit, shift-fork position sensors, the clutch actuator. The main risk is losing your gear on a grade.
The gearbox or clutch has gone into limp mode: some gears may be unavailable and an automated box may stop shifting under load.
The main risk is being left on a climb with no gear and rolling back. Do not take a loaded truck into the hills; reaching level ground and a shop is fine.
That said, the manufacturer flags this code as critical — if in doubt, it is safer to stop and check on the spot.
The answer depends on the code, not the light. A yellow light is a warning; a red one means do not move. But even under a yellow light there are faults that require stopping right away — low oil pressure, overheating, lost brake pressure. Enter the code — the reference will tell you plainly whether to keep driving or stop.
