Default Check Engine Light
So it finally happened. Got in my 2012 sport to come home from work and my check engine light came on. Of course it happens at 4:40 on a Friday Afternoon. Anyway it's going in Monday morning. I'm assuming it's the head problem.

Code readers are so inexpensive these days. Get one and end the mystery. Another option is to get an OBD device or about $18 that talks to an APP like dashcommand on your smart phone. How many miles on your 2012?

Yes. First thing the tech asked when I called for the appointment. I said I wish it was that.
