My Honda often gets the engine light turn on and then a few days later the light is off.. when the engine light turns on, I had taken it to dealer in which they update microsoft but it comes back again. The dealer runs the car into the computer and doesn't find anything wrong with engine or nothing else.. but the light turns on and off often..
