anyone got any ideas.
When the light comes on, the FIRST thing to do is to read the code that set the light. There are a myriad of devices from $20 to $150 you can buy to do this with. Or, go to Autozone or AdvanceAuto and I think you will find they will read the codes for free.
Then, come back here, give us the code and we can go from there.
I have one of these plugged in at all times.

I usually know what set the light before I get to the next traffic light! And I've got 110,000 miles on mine, I've seen the light more times than I can count.
Biut I've spent very LITTLE to get it to go out.
