Reset the check engine light...
Came on this a.m....I'm drawing a blank & the link to access the DIC codes is at home. What's the sequence to reset it?
Thanks in advance. :

Owner's manual says check the gas cap.
If that doesn't help, did you drive through a puddle of water? If so, your electrical system may be wet & the condition will usually be corrected when the electrical system dries out.
Have you recently changed brands of fuel? Poor fuel quality will cause it to come on. At least one tank of better quality fuel will be required.
If none of these help, see your dealer.

there is uselually a way to make it go away... on Hondas you can hold the odometer button for 20 sec before you start the car and continue holding it for like another 30 secs or something like that

There's a way to do a "bulb check" on the check engine light. With a fob in the car, press and hold the bottom of the ACC button for 5 seconds. The instrument panel, including the check engine light will light up and the ignition will be on, but the engine will not start. Press and release the button again to turn off all lights and the ignition.
EDIT: Didn't think to ask whether this was a C5 or a C6 problem. It's posted in the C6 section, so . . . Instructions in my post are for C6.

Why not just stop in at the Dealer and have them run the codes and re set it. They will ususlly do this right away for you.

After you spend $30G on mods you skip the manual.
Rule #1. NEVER go to the dealer.
My bad! Should have been in C5.
