non-limp mode check engine light
Trying to figure out what the deal is.. Air conditioner wasn't getting cold, so my suspicion is the a/c didn't work and it popped the code to let me know to check it out. Auto Zone code coming soon.

Get the code first. Then disconnect battery for a minute or two to reset the code which will also get the digital temp readout and gauge back (or use the code reader to rest the code).

Most of the "zone" type stores around here will not clear codes for liability reasons. Some new guys will.
