Default Service Engine Code

Any body else have this show up on the DIC at all. I've been storing it most of the winter, I usually use regular gas but I put in almost a full tank of premium (3/4 tank). The message came up the next day, does this make sense to anyone. I checked my gas cap and it is on properly.
I'm sure I'll have to get it scanned and it is still stored so not an immediate concern, so if anyone can offer opinions it would be appreciated.

Without knowing what code it's throwing, our guess is as good as yours.

It's just a DTC being thrown. Could be any multitude of things.

Is the CEL on? I have never seen this. sometimes it pops up and says check gas cap or battery saver active. But never service engine code.

My CEL would come on and Service Engine Soon would be on the DIC whenever mine threw a code.

Probably just knocking if you didn't put fuel stabilizer in. Get the code read at autozone or whatever if you want to make sure. Otherwise the light will be on for 40 cycles or something.
