For now only BMW diagnostic computers can get faults if the yellow half engine icon appears.
My advice is if you have a PROcede and you go into limp mode, pull over, shut off the engine, restart, and the icon should go away. Don't even think about going to the dealer, at least here in the US, complaining that your 335i went into limp mode with a PROcede still installed in the car or even ask to check the faults and ask for a printout. They won't do it.

In Switzerland they do it, especially when you have purchased the 7th brand new car within 12 years and never had worth to mention warranty issues
. Of course, it is about US$ 8.50
