Dear Membership,
I'm looking for a little reassurance, I guess. I needed to trailer my Coupe Cambio in a recent move. After starting and shutting the engine off multiple times, only to move the car an inch here and an inch there in positioning it on the car carrier, the check engine light came on. It's been started about a dozen times since then, but the light remains illuminated. I'm thinking it was just a burp given the multiple start/stops. Should the code clear itself if the problem no longer exists? If yes, how many restarts should that take? Is there any way short of having a code reader that I can assess whether it is something more serious? I was hoping a trip to the dealer could be avoided. Thanks in advance for your input.
