Many thanks. The dealer charged me $95.00 to put the car on the ultra machine to check the code number plus $65.00 for reset. This happened on two different occasions, almost 2 1/2 months apart.
It came on about a month ago for three days and went off by itself.

Again, thanks while you save me some bucks.

Whenever my CEL lights up, I disconnect the battery and reset it. That usually takes care of it, but it doesn't tell why it came on.

If the CEL comes back on, then I take it somewhere to find out why it's coming on. Unfortunately, that may be a dealer who overcharges.

Is the CEL on your car still coming on? Mine came back on about 4 days ago and went off by itself less than 48 hours later.
Is this normal or should I be worried?
Thanks
