Nooooooooooo!
Goddamn I hate that light. My last car it was on constantly and the shop I went to was useless at fixing it (under warranty). Then it went off, and I was happy.
Until The car lost the ability to go above 20km/h - and I was on a highway going 100km/h (and 100km from anywhere) when things cut out.

When my car did that it turned out to be a very minor electrical fault that the car computer was just freaking out about, and wasn’t actually anything really serious. I think it turned out to be something really dumb like the tyre pressure sensor that had failed.

A few months earlier another driver of the same make/model/year had their vehicle lose power on a busy highway, and the crash was ugly. They ended up putting a new transmission in mine. It did fix the problem, but it wasn’t the end of trouble with that vehicle.
