Yeah, I was going to check with autozone first. Thanks for the tip

As for the oil change, its only been 2,100 miles since I last changed it. I'm at 6,800 miles right now...and the last time I did it was at 4,702.

The only modification that I did was installed an Injen Intake...but it was about 2 weeks ago and never had this light come up until today. Would installing the intake cause a problem like this???

The intake would not cause the SES light.

Either take it to autozone

or

Your car is still under warranty. Call the dealer and have them figure it out for free!

If the MAF sensor was not put back correctly, then yes it will.

The intake shouldnt be the issue if it didnt pop right back on after you put it in though. Just goto the dealer, thats what the warranty is for.

make sure your gas cap is closed properly, also check that the MAF sensor in the intake is in right.

HAHA!

I think it was my gas cap. When I checked, it wasn't closed properly. The light stayed on for about 15 minutes, then it disappeared after a bit. Man...I can't believe it was something that simple. I FEEL LIKE A RETARD!

But anyways, thanks for all your help guys!
