So last friday my check engine light comes on. Bad timing because my gf's car was wacked and we just dropped it off at the body shop. I dropped my Rubi at the dealer on Monday night. Tuesday afternoon they call. Recall (steering damper) is done but check engine off now. What?? Oh well. Sucks because leaving for Adirondaks today and didn't want a problem 300 miles from home. well they are backing it out of the service bay and the light comes on! The reason... Software update thru satellite failed and threw a code. That all it was! Weird that the code reader did not see that without that light being on. Anyway, I am glad it is a simple thing.

Glad to hear it was something simple. Now you can enjoy the Adirondacks without it playing mind games with you.

I would prefer my check engine lite to not be used for something like this. Its not dangerous or disabling. Only makes you nervous to drive it.
