Seemed very random. It would come on occasionally when I turn right soon after a start up. Some times it would come one 3/4's of the way home from work. I never did find out what it was and my mechanic haddn't a clue. Either it went away on it's own or one thing or the other that I've replaced over the years took care of it. At 104,000 miles it is still running strong. Elusive at best. -- cristo morlanski
