Might want to talk to RRM.

Also, get the SES code checked (for free at a parts store) and find the direct cause.

RRM should be the first place you contact about this, if you dont feel any diff in driveability it was probably a freak thing but should def be checked out to see what code it is and go from there with RRM's help

cough cough... this is the one situation where you dont go to the dealer lol
I hope all is well when you clear it.

If it ssomething minor, you should be able to reset the battery and make it go away. well if its anything like older cars from a few years ago. Or it may store it to memory possibly?
