After bringing my car in for the 75k service a few days ago, the CEL came on last night.

Here's what was done:
Recall - Headlight switch connector
New brake pads/shoes in front & rear, rotors turned
Oil changed, new filter
Radiator, coolant flushed
Doors, hinges lubricated (yeah, this is suspect #1 :p )
Cabin air filter replaced

Looking at the OBD-2 codes list, I'm guessing it was the radiator flush or brake work that caused this? I'm off to check the gas cap and disconnect the battery to see if it goes away. ttyl

Had that problem to a while back, took it in for a strange noise problem, not sure if it was the moose or not, and then a day or two later the engine light came on. Took it back a week later and got brand new cats! At least it kinda worked out for me good luck in finding what's wrong. My guess would be to coolant flush/brake work too. Who knows maybe a not so good mechanic knocked somehting loose when they were working on it.

Well, the CEL finally turned itself off (like last time). Hopefully it won't come on again till there's real trouble.
