Has anyone else had this issue. My check engine light came on this morning for no reason. I checked gas cap and no issues with the car, but light will not go off even after I turned it off and back on.

If its gas cap related, on my other cars, you need to drive for a while before it turns off.

Mine came on at 5400 miles and the electronics in the gas tank needed to be replaced. Took a couple days.

Maybe it's telling you you're being a wuss in all those comfort settings!
Gas cap or faulty sensor usually the culprit...

No panic mode. Lol
Don't worry to much about CEL light
If you see message in I Drive, that's where you need to worry

Been there done that
Bought OBD II and reset it myself and as long as it's nothing that needs fixed, it's actually cool
