yes..
Had CAN bus and instrument cluster ones come up on mine during the last gearbox failure.
That is not to say yours is going but that i have seen them also.
Some times the ike will not see the message in time.
wont affect driving as the gear change controlled by the egs.
EGR is also. ot going to cause running issues but could affect emmissions

If the volts were too low then it's possible. We all know these cars throw 'owner panicking' errors up at the wrong times when the battery is low.
