At the risk of sounding like a NAGGER - - We always tell everyone to NEVER DRIVE WITH THE AUTOPARK LIGHT ON!!!! So often we hear that "The coach seemed OK so we just kept going."
If your AutoPark light is on because of a bad Light Switch, then the coach will still probably roll OK - - but unless you have done the tests and KNOW FOR SURE that your problem is limited to the Light Switch, you are running a risk of a lockup and perhaps damage to your parking brake shoes, drum etc.
On the other hand, if your AutoPark light is on because of a bad pump motor switch, or relay, or solenoid, or wiring (long list of possibilities), you are in imminent danger of a parking brake lockup.
The sneaky thing about the AutoPark light (as configured by the OEM), is that TWO DIFFERENT PRESSURE SWITCHES can turn it ON. One situation is relatively benign, but the other is potentially BIGTIME SERIOUS. Until you check it out, you are very unlikely to know which situation you are faced with.
As always, we recommend:
Learn how your AutoPark works
Carry spares - - Light Switch, RGS (pump motor switch), Relay
Build and install the Genie Lamp. It will tell you why your AutoPark Light is ON and warn you of potential lockups.
Owners can, and do repair almost all of their AutoPark problems. You can't often say that about transmissions, injections systems, onboard computers etc. Get yourself up to speed on this system and it will be far less worrisome.
