I'd say it'd do what ever it can to save itself. Reduce RPM limit, reduce timing, increase fuel depending on what the issue is.

My car had a "Check Powertrain" light and it drove perfectly fine with absolutely no problems. The oil pressure sensor was broken, so that car didn't know what the oil pressure was. Because I knew the oil pressure had never been a problem I drove it to get the sensor fixed and it was fine afterwards.
