Check the Gas cap and if an oil change was recently done make sure everything is tight.If you are over due for an oil change then that could be a problem as well.If those are not the issue then take it to the dealership.I wouldnt mess around with that light being on.The car is so new that Autozone or other places like that wont have the right program.Have the dealership scan it in the lot and tell you what it is.If its something bad leave it there if not then take it home and set a convenient date to get it serviced.Make sure you swap out your intake before going unless you know for a fact that your dealership wont Void your warranty.

Ok....first off...I WAS KIDDING!!! LOL
Secondly...YES it is possible...usually a bi-product of race fuel. BUT, I've heard another company actually makes a kit that involves putting a very small nozzle and a solenoid just inside the exhaust tip so that at full throttle just a tiny bit of gas is sprayed causing ignition from the heat....something to that effect. I wouldn't personally do that.
If your ride is THAT modified where you get that result from the use of race fuel then cool for you....but to spend money on THAT kind of mod is a little pubescent (Damn, I sounded like my father there...lol)
