You have OBD-II, so you'll need a scan tool.

The light will often go out when you restart the engine but then come on again when a problem is again detected. You can scan even while the light is out for the moment. The trouble code should still be stored and will appear on the scanner.

best investment i ever made.. OBD2-usb cord.. it cost me like 22 bux on ebay, plus they sent me software and gold valve caps. just plug it into your obd port, plus the other side into your usb port on a laptop, run the software, it will tell you what the code number is, description of it, and let you clear it. it also tells you all of the data from your sensors. its pretty useful, and i would rather have this than a hand held scanner that costs 80 bux because this has more features. i highly reccomend it.
