PCS open

[J4CKI3]

I got a little bored while driving an SD40-2, and I kinda opened the fuse box. I then noticed that warnings was switched off. I switched it on, and a few minutes later, a red LED light cluster above the instruments came on, it started beeping, and a light on the panel that said "PCS open" came on. I then stopped using the automatic brake, turned on my rear lights, blasted my horn a few times, and now I don't know what to do. So, what is the problem, exactly, and how do I fix it?

The warning fuse controls a security device in case the engineer falls asleep or loose counsciousness.

You must either manipulate the throttle, dyn/auto brakes or hit a button on regular intervals to reset an invisible timer. Failing to do so will trigger the red light you saw and a beeping sound. Failing to hit the reset button within a few seconds after the red light comes up will automatically trigger an emergency braking.

Once the train goes on emergency, you have to wait about 5 minutes and follow a certain procedure to be able to move the train again.
