Enlightening

Let us review:

Recently, the Check Engine light in the Toyota went OFF at about the same time at the Check Engine light in the Neon came ON.

Late last week we took the Neon in for a few small repairs (that got unexpectedly bigger when I ran the car into a deer on the way to the shop), and now the Check Engine light in the Neon is OFF.

This would suggest that the Check Engine light in the Toyota should be ON, which is indeed the case.

This may just be the Toyota's clever method of reminding me who’s boss; after all, after a vehicle has passed the 180,000 mile mark, it is entitled to have a few crotchets. Still, it is reassuring to know that the Law of Conservation of Engine Light Illumination in the Universe remains in force.
