Check engine light... and gone.
I was away on a work trip and left the merc parked in the garage for 5 days. I turned it on the first night back and the check engine light was on. It was steady and no flashing. I turned the car off and back on, still on. Turned the car back off for 10 mins to do a quick visual under the hood and double check gas cap. All looked well. Turned car back on and light was gone. Took a quick drive and all seemed normal.
Does this warrant a immediate trip to dealership?

Unless it's static and/or recurring, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I picked up a dongle off amazon just in case. Combined with a iphone app i can just check and reset the cel if need be. The apps allow you to track and test things like 0-60 times. Well worth the $26.($16 for the dongle and $10 for the app)
