Is it safe to continue to drive with this DTC .

[4R005]

2005 4R w/V8 LTD - Couple of weeks ago Check Engine, VSC TRAC & VSSC OFF lights came on. Scanned and DTC P2401 ( Evaporative emission leak detection pump stuck off ) came up. I erased code and DTC came back today ( after several drive cycles. Lights were off during this period perhaps pump came unstuck ? ). Can vehicle be driven with this code still active without it going into the dreaded Limp Mode ? Any insights are welcome.

It should be fine to drive it, but one never knows.

Just an FYI sometimes those lights will also come on when the gas cap stops sealing properly, it's a common issue once they get old, try putting a little Vaseline on the rubber O-ring on the gas cap and see if that helps or temporarily fixes it, if so get a new OEM gas cap, aftermarket caps sometimes don't seal very well.
