I hate this stuff

For someone who makes his living negotiating, litigating and solving problems, I am remarkably averse to personal conflict. I'm the kind of person that doesn't argue. I don't yell. I procrastinate and avoid.

I was driving home this afternoon and the "Malfunction Indicator Light" came on. A bit of Googling has determined that it is the Hyundai equivalent of the check engine light. Further Googling indicates that it can mean almost anything.

So here's the thing. I immediately run through all the things that will result in grief. Out of bumper to bumper warranty? No - a few thousand miles to go. Thus the power train warranty is still good too. Did I miss any scheduled maintenance? Nope. Oil changes as scheduled and the 60K mile major stuff is, again, a few thousand miles down the road.

There is the "recommended" changing of some fluid or other by the Dealer that wasn't in the maintenance manual that the Dealer said I should do, that I declined and the service writer notated on the sheet they fill out. I was going to make an issue of it but didn't. Is it about to come back to bite me?

Anything else that can be wrong? I don't know, but I'll gnaw at it till Monday morning when I take it to the dealer.
