Default "Service Engine Soon"

Sups guys, My engine light has come on again for the second time. First time, it stayed on for about three days, then decided to turn off on my way to the dealership! Now the lil bastard is back. Is there anyway to get the light to flash a code by pluggin two terminals in the PCM port as can be done in the third gen. fbodies?? If not what are my options? (01 WS6). Thanks

That is what's called a pending DTC. It clears itself automatically after three successful operating cycles.

But without knowing what the actual code is, It's really hard to say.

Did you fill up with gas prior to the light coming on?
