Check Engine Light
I was driving to breakfast this AM and the check engine light came on. I have no idea what is causing it. I will take it to the dealer this week and let you all know. The vehicle has almost 16,000 miles on it. It is still under warranty.
It happened after I filled up the tank.

Could be gas cap related. Did you screw it on crooked maybe? Not tight? Take the gas cap off, put it back on and go through 3 thermal cycles to see if the check engine light will go off. This has happened on my Crown Victoria several times.
