There are a lot of things that will cause this light to come on. So, we need to always start by checking the codes.

Here are a couple guides that will help with this:

Once we know what codes are there, we will know what direction to go but here is another guide that talks if this is safe to drive with or not. There are times that it is and that is not. However, not knowing what codes are there, we cannot be sure it is safe.

Let's start with this info and go from there.

Thanks
