After the horrific car expenses twice last year, this year's tax refund finally got my checking account back to normal levels! I was sitting at a nice, comfy spot for almost two months.
Almost. And now the check engine light is on ðŸ˜

On the plus side, it seems like the bill this time around isn't going to be as bad as I feared it would be, so that's something.

I hope it's something trivial. Mine likes to turn its 'check engine' light on for blown tire pressure sensors, which have approximately the useful lifespan of a potato chip.

Yeah, my mechanic was pretty sure it was going to be a false alarm as well. Turns out, not so much! On the plus side, the cost is about half as much as I was braced for, and they expect to get the part in tomorrow morning, so that's. Something.

Do you have the manual? It might be worth checking out the section of indicator lights. (I say this because the first time I had my 'engine' light come on in a new car, I panicked, only to look it up and find out it meant I needed to schedule an oil change soon. Yeesh.) Or is it more a case of, this light should definitely not be on because the service it indicates was done recently?
Best of luck no matter what it turns out to be; cars are contrary and finicky creatures to nurse to health!
