So, battery was dead this morning. I MAY have left a light on (don't judge me!). But anyway, I jumped the car, took a few tries to turn over. Battery seems to be holding juice just fine now, and turns over first time every time. What was interesting is when I got it to turn over the first time after jumping, the service engine soon light was on, not blinking. It stayed on for a few minutes, I decided to drive the other car because I was nervous it would leave me stranded someplace, but coming back to it a few hours later all was well. It's pretty cold today, 12 degrees when the battery was dead initially. Just wondering if this is something I should worry about.

Thanks guys!

 

Get a code reader or have someone else read out the code, so you know what the issue is.

 

Stupid question... are said codes stored somehow? I ask because the light isn't on anymore. It happened just the first start when battery was dead.

 

Sometimes a code can be stored....might be related to low voltage....when the code is not active, the light usually goes out after a couple start /stops.
