According to your wording: The turbo is failing causing the warning light to come on rather than the light coming on making the turbo quit. Get it into a shop to find out why the turbo is failing and get it fixed. There are several things that can be causing the problem.

I would try something like this first. I got this cheap reader and it worked great for me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I would read the codes with a good scanner, see what the problem is and then fix it. You dont want to have a major issue with the engine then clear the light.

You need to find a qualified tech to inspect the problem. Generic scan tools don't give you enough information as well as don't read manufacturer codes.

Any number of things can cause limp mode, you need to have it properly diagnosed.
