The check engine light came on. Car was still very much drivable. Drove it to the dealer. It was diagnosed as a signal from the computer module that it sensed a bad signal from the engine and transmission. Dealer was not very specific and said that the potential solution is to download a new program for the computer module. If that does not work, I will need to replace the computer module. ( They download a program and so far the car is running OK. I put about 300 miles on it since the repair. ) I like this car a lot; it has given me about 30,000 trouble-free miles till this check- engine light issue.
