What is the elevation of the place where the light came on ?
I would make a best guess of saying it got a little lean maybe ?
Unhook the battery and leave it off for at least ten minutes or so and then
make sure you turn the key to bleed and possible residual power stored
anywhere .
Hook it back upo and see if the light is still on , if it is , try driving
the truck another 50-100 miles and see if it goes away after a good "cycle" .
