28 Miles - CHECK ENGINE
Wtf ? 56k for this and I get a check engine ?
Anyone has any idea ?

Also anyone knows where I can get a better looking Sirus antenna ? I hate the one the dealership put in for me. they didnt even pain it ( Says it will effect the signal)
Any inputs?

Gas cap is loose. You may have to take back to the dealership to have it reset.

I had the same problem and it turned out to be a loose vacuum hose.

Mine came on before the first fueling. It was just throwing a strange code. 6000 miles later no further problems.
