Default orange cog warning symbol on fiesta 1.4 tdci zetec

Hi all problems again... today when i made my usual commute to work a warning light was flashing on my dash (Engine failure check owners manual) for about ten seconds and went off and the car lost power in the process. it was cog shaped with an explanation mark in the middle And after reading a few threads i believe its called the powertrain control light (pcm) but not 100% as i dont have a manual for the car it also happened on the way home... any ideas what is please as i dont wanna drive it again and damage the engine In any way...

Only way to find out is to have the fault codes read.
