If an engine fault, then *usually* yes, if a transmission fault then I'm unsure.  On other Vauxhall's (the Omega may be the same) the 'Sport' light would flash if a transmission fault occurred.  :-\

You are much better off describing the problems you are having...

Second thing check Charging Voltage, High Alternator volts can throw the Autobox into Limp Mode.
