No problem, thanks for your help! I am not mechanically inclined at all just had the code read and looked it up online

Hello, the code refers to either the turbo vane sensor or turbo vane solenoid, These adjust the vanes in the turbo when under a heavy load. Its not dangerous but. it is something that should be looked at by a shop. Yes, you can continue to drive with no harm but may be a bit underpowered under load. You can try disconnectig the batteries for 90 seconds which should clear the code. The problem is,, a shop will no longer have data stored to work with. It could? have been a glitch or a problem with the sensor or solenoid
I hope my information has helped.
