    No idea without more info.
    Does your truck have diagnostic codes you can read on the dash display 5700 XE? or just the lights like my 4900SF did?
    Check coolant levels to begin with.

    That’s the hill start assist.
    Must be an autoshift transmission. It holds the brakes on for a few seconds while you are on a hill to give you a chance to get your foot off the brake and onto the gas without rolling backwards.
    If the light is on. Either you hit the hill start assist disable switch on the dash, or the system for it is not working.
    Shouldn’t effect if the engine starts.
