    Not much to work with here. You should have her make sure there is coolant before driving and then pull the codes. The codes can be anything at this point, even a coincidence, though I'm figuring it's not.

    Yeah, I know, very little to work with. I agree, coincidence is possible, just not very likely.

    She did scan the manual page for me, and told me "it's the bottom condition". Well, that's clear as mud, because it's either the light is coming on yellow, meaning the full engine power is not available, or it's "indicator lamp 1 comes on", which corresponds to "Engine malfunction with adverse effect on exhaust emissions". Either way, I foresee the plugging in of a ScanGauge in my future.
