Replacing it and putting oil in was fine until it came to driving it, now the little orange cog illuminates on the dash

Other than plugging a scanner into it coukd it just need more oil? Or some draining out? Or could it be totally unrelated?

If it's just normal manual box then no nothing to do with the box. Best plug it in
