Default C5 Engine Light - Help!

I drove my 2000 coupe home from work the other day in the rain and I went through a very shallow puddle and a few yards later the check engine light came on. The car did not seem to drive any differently or idle any differently after the light came on. Did the water cause it to come on? It has been a day since I drove it, I just started it up and the check engine light is still on. Should I let it "dry" out a few days or right to the dealer?

Use the DIC to pull up codes. Do a search for the procedure and list your codes here, you will get help.

Pull some codes and we will be able to tell you what the culprit is!

More than likely got some water in a connection somewhere and the codes should point us in the right direction!

Let us know !

thanks,matt
