Its been discussed on the forum before. Try a search for a more detailed answer. It has happened to me several times and from what I have learned on this forum its not warming up, its doing a recalibration.

Its normal and mentioned in the Handbook.

Someone gave a long explanation a while ago about what it does.

As long as the message goes away, you're okay

I had to take pace 1 back to the dealer to fix a sensor after they installed headers on it...they apparently had messed something up, causing the message to stay on indefinitely.
