I would pass it off as nothing unless you still have the stock battery. If so those old Delcos are notorious for leaking, and your computer is mounted right below it. This happened to me just before my warranty ran out. Codes going off every-

I recently replaced mine.......didn't look like I had much of a problem when it took the stock one out.
I looked at it today a month later and the terminal was leaking and ate a hole in my garage concrete floor :eek:
Glad I got it outta my car.
