    could be a bad GEM board but to be honest, if its doing it when your applying extra current, it sounds like an alternator and/or battery fault.

    Wonder is the extra load on the engine is enough to have the EMS computer see the DPF as needing to regenerate as becoming blocked and needs a good burn or blow out?  Had this happen to me when i had just got mine TX2.2 and frightened the life out of me as the engine went into limp mode but that still was OK fro 70 on the flat in top... reassured by the helpful folk on this site.  Amber EML cleared on restart and MPG improved from a disappointing 36mpg to a less disappointing 40mpg... noting my prev 55 TX2.2 still showed 48 to 51mpg at 185k miles [proven at the pump with trip miles/litres fill]. 

    Hope that helps!!
