Is this your first car?? Just curious as any car after 1996 follows OBD-II protocol. You have to have the code read just like any other car.

I couldn't see owning any performance vehicle and not having a way to read diagnostic trouble codes.

But hey Autozone, Advanced Auto, etc... Will pull them free for ya

Get the code checked. The snow or cold may have just killed a sensor.

In my case, it was the rubber gasket inside the gas cap. It wasn't damaged but after making sure the gasket was correctly seated around the inside of the cap, then re-installed the gas cap; the SES message went away.

It makes me appreciate my IX more and more as I keep noticing how sensitive this car is. But as soon as I get a message that the car needs it's tampon changed, I'm putting it up for sale
