Anyone had any experience with this light staying on. Driving to SF tonight the light came on and has stayed on. Manual says fuel, exhaust malfunction. Already took gas cap off and retighted with no change.

The dealer told me it can take a few run cycles to self-clear errors caused by the gas cap. Hope that's it.

Grab yourself an OBD II tester/reader. I got mine from http://www.autoxray.com. Code Scout 1500.

1. save yourself a trip to the dealer only to find out you have a loose gas cap.

2. determine if it's something serious you need to fix RIGHT NOW.

3. reset the code if it's not serious and avoid having to wait for the system to take its own sweet time to reset.

Did self correct

The light did self correct after three days. I read the code after it self corrected - it was a cold thermostat error.
