Adam,I've had this problem twice now on my '03 Linear Wagon when I didn't immediately notice the temp gauge had gone to zero resulting in the CEL coming on. Both times I was able to reset the CEL by taking a cable off the battery for a few minutes. Other times I have pulled over and switched off and immediately restarted to continue my journey with no further problems. My observation would be that it happens when the engine sees very cold water when the thermostat opens and the signal from the ECT sensor shows the temperature taking longer than has been usual to get up to what the computer regards as normal. I suspect it to be a thermostat that has a weakened spring such that it doesn't close enough to reduce the water flow and let the temperature come up higher. I have not worried about it especially since it doesn't seem to happen to me in the summer.
