Yellow Engine CEL & odd codes

Had a "Solid Yellow Engine" CEL come on today. It threw two codes:
P2188 - Fuel too rich at idle
P2786 - Gear Shift Actuator Temperature Too High

The first is maybe MAF or O2 sensor or maybe associated with the Alta tune (stage 1). The second I have no clue. Do they mean anything when presented together?

No noticeable engine problems, though I didn't really push it when the CEL came on.

Pretty much planning on the dealership in the morning, but forewarning would be appreciated.

Just saw your posts...
P2188 was a loose clamp on the downstream side of the MAF. Fixed in 2min. Got a tip on this from Chris @ Alta so I never took it to the dealer.

P2786 never recurred. I suspect it was a false code. Interesting thing about this one is that Chris seemed to think it had a different error code associated with it, but all my searches have only shown the above descriptor. Hmm.

I spoke too soon. The same P2188 CEL is back. I've been running the stock map for a week or so & it popped up again. I did see some older posts on this CEL with no resolution noted. Hopefully something will turn up that explains this one.

Let the troubleshooting begin.
