Dealership will charge you 40 bucks. I just had it done only to find out that it's because I have a test pipe on.

i think your warranty will cover it. unless you have done something to your car to void the warranty...

Just go in with the stock intake on, and let them diagnose the problem.

dude if your still there, just take it to the dealer and let them know about it ASAP. they'll run a full diognostic check, if they can't find anything, they'll just reset the SES. yeah, i don't know if installing the intake would cause that + you said that was installed a while back. hmm, yeah... that's my 2 bits on that,so go and have the dealership check on it.

I finally went to the dealer to run the diagdostic and they told me that the problem was a vacuum hose that was bended so it was sending an invalid signal to the computer, then after they gave me my car back i was drivin home anf the deam SES light came on again, I had to go back to the dealer so they could run the diagnostic AGAIN and then they said that it was an EGR valve that wasnt workin now i have to wait a week because they had to order the part.
