Mysterious Check Engine Light
I took the 2000 out for a drive today, about 60 miles.
25 miles out the check engine came on. Ran fine. All gauges looked good.
I finished my loop and went straight the the local parts store to borrow there code reader.
I shut the car off to go inside. Came out and connected the reader.
No codes?
There wasn't a single stored code. Started the car and no check engine light.
I don't like it when they randomly come and go.
Any ideas?

I pulled and looked up all the codes. The dealership killed the battery while they had it and that accounts for most of these.
B2282 H = Battery Circuit
B2283 H = Battery Circuit
B2284 H = Battery Fault
B2285 H = Battery Circuit 2
U1064 H = Loss of comm with BCM
U1096 H = Loss of comm with IRC
B1001 H = reset air bag.
I am wondering about the last 3. I cleared them all and will wait to see if they come back
I had my 9 year old with me in the car. She could not see out the window so she kept pulling
her self up by the grab bar thus taking her weight of the seat. Could that trigger the
air bag code and have turned on the check engine light.
There are no lights on, on the dash.
Should I be worried about the two loss of communication codes?I believe this to be true:
This is a normal software function as long as the DTCs have a history status upon ignition cycling. No repair attempts should be made.

thanks for all your help.
I don't have emissions ... I can do anything to my cars.
No inspections, no emissions. I just need insurance card to get my plates.
If it was not raining I would go try to trigger the light again... oh well... I am prepared for next time.
