Need Quick help - CEL When Towing

Wife is pulling camper with our 2002 F350 Super Duty. She just called to say that the CEL came on while pulling up a hill. I seem to remember this same thing happening with our F250 gas.
What does it mean/what causes this? Is it indicative of a problem or is this common. She wants to stop until she knows for sure it wont cause any damage to continue.
Thanks for the help!

7.3L diesel on the engine

4R100 Auto (?) on the transmission.

She just said that a guy told her that it had something to do with the catalytic converter and to not worry. Does this sound right?
