Yes, take it by the dealer. You really want to know what is causing the code.

High Life is actually a pretty decent tasting beer, its no Bud Light or Natural Ice for sure.

So I swing into the dealership, they couldn't get me in til this afternoon, which wouldn't work for me so I set an appointment for Monday - but when I started my 8 to leave, the CEL was gone - so whatever it saw, it's fine now.

It was probably a random misfire but the code should still be stored. I suggest having it checked just in case.

couldnt fit you in? They didn't have a single tech with 4 seconds to conect to the OBD port and scan for CEL's?

Take it to autozone.

You'll still have the code in memory, so why not use it as an excuse to pay your buddy a visit and BS for a little.

My favorite beer is Yours. Actually, I don't see much of a difference between the major domestics like the Millers or the Buds.

If you guys saw the news about the I-90 100 car pile-up near Madison, WI, yesterday, you'll know that I feel thankful that me and my family made it out alive. We were headed north on 90 (driving our 07 Santa Fe AWD), in thick fog, in the right lane at about 50mph, when we came up on a wall of stopped cars - cars began sliding and crashing around us - I came to a stop on the right shoulder, looked in my rearview mirror and saw a sight I'll never forget - a semi partially airborne coming at us at 60mph+. I hit the AWD lock button, and floored it into the ditch and up a 15ft snowcovered embankment til we were 50ft off the road. Cars everywhere, semis on top of cars - there was a fatality right where we had been. 5 1/2 hours later, we made it back up out of the ditch (very glad I went with 4wd on this car) and then headed home. Don't want to think what would have happened if I had been driving the 8. Of the 2 main pile-ups, we were right at the 2nd one - never seen anything like that and hope I never do again. Drive safe everyone.

Chris.

I saw it on the news. I'm glad you had the forethought to keep an eye on the mirrors in that situation and were able to react. I'm assuming this was north of Madison before the Wisconsin River?

It was 3 miles south of 12/18 - we were northbound. The first pile up was right at 12/18.
