I've had a bunch of other things needing my attention, but after getting the View it's parking spot and getting the power protector and water pressure valve, hoses, etc. I decided to take the wife for a short ride since she hadn't even been in it while it was moving. Intended on going out for a few days next week just to sort out any bug that might pop up before long trips.  I just got the plates for it, put them on, pulled in the slider and down off the jacks.

I'll be damned if I look down at the dash after a couple miles and the yellow check engine light is is on.  I've only driven it home from the dealer and then on a short 5 mile loop for the wife and I gotta take it in to see what the hell is going on with that.  AArrrggghhhhh!

Get yourself an OBD2 scanner, and maybe you won't have to take it to the dealer.

 I think I will go out and pick one up.
 

Another thing to try first (OBDII scanner is a good thing to have regardless) is to disconnect the battery for 5 minutes or so and reconnect. Sometimes these computers get the signals messed up and a reset will fix it. If the light stays off, you're golden. If not...
