    I was doing the setup when i was about halfway the mision i had to couple to hoppers to the front of the loco, as soon as i did a yellow light started burning and my power indicator turned red i could not move anymore.
    I pressed the Alerter, did not help.
    I even shut down the train and restarted IT again, but the yellow light with An exclamation Mark kept burning.

    I used storymode to start this scenario.

    You tripped the PCS (that's the yellow light). To recover, put brakes to emergency and full application, throttle to idle, reverser to neutral and wait 60 seconds.

    This is a bug across TSW's US locomotives, a consequence of the abstracted hookup of the brake hoses (IRL, they are done manually and slowly so as not to allow excessive airflow).

    That’s how it works. You wait for one minute before releasing the brakes and when you release the brakes the light goes out.

    Sometimes, if you click the switch from "Lead" to "Trail" and back again, it'll reset the whole emergency brake system in a flash, rather than having to wait (and yes, I know it's not the correct way of doing things, just throwing the tip out there). Just make sure you change the brake setting first, otherwise it'll trip back to emergency brakes when you switch back!
