   I got the scanner and it give code P23AD.  Looks like NOx sensor.  I'm   
   gonna crawl under there tomorrow and see if some of the connectors came   
   loose or something.  If they did, it should reset and make the light go   
   out on its own.  If not, at least I know what the problem is now and can   
   sleep easier.
