That is a safety feature to protect the engine from more damage caused by a failure of some sort. Recommended action is to get it towed to a dealer for diagnosis and repair.Do NOT keep driving it with this condition.

Yep! Too broad a spectrum of possibilities! Have someone read the codes. That'll tell you more than we can with the generic information you have.

I'll echo the don't keep trying to start/run/drive it like that!

My work truck did the same thing. It was an EGT sensor bad. 20 minutes to change it after it had been towed to the dealer.
