Wheel Alignment
Has anyone ever had a check engine light come on after a four wheel alignment and/or road force balancing of the tires?

Wow, never. Hopefully someone has an idea as to where to look.

I don't know what the code is yet...Maybe it's just a coincidence.

Give us the code. Going to the parts store is a pain when you can own a obd code reader for about 10 bucks.
Maybe a wheel speed sensor connector was bumped while they were under there.

Okay I had a friend read the code. It was "P0174 Bank 2 system too lean." This tells me that it had nothing to do with the alignment or the wheel balance. It can be caused by an "airflow disturbance." It could be that the MAF sensor is dirty. I reset the code and let's see if it reoccurs.
