It was only a few months old and the check engine light came on. I took it back to the dealer and they pulled a little knob (unfortunately, I forget where) and the light flashed a code. The code said that the oxygen sensor was bad along with another part (could have been the computer...). When replaced, I haven't had the problem since. I would suggest that you sneak into an auto parts store or local library and look up the section regarding the light. There is probably some switch that you too can pull and get an answer to your problem (albeit the light will probably have to be 'on' (indicating a fault) at the time). Hope this helps, Tom Bulkowski
