I have a Helix dp and I've never gotten a cel. Reason is because they give you a cel fix(resistor) that you solder in to the O2 harness. Works like a charm.

Anyone near Hilo, I can read your codes and clear the MIL/CEL etc. Maybe I should bring the laptop and cable on this Mauna Kea drive ya?

An OBD-II scanner will tell you what's wrong and also clear the CEL's.

Also, if you have the XEDE software, laptop and serial cable, you can tune the car on your own. No need to send in to Vishnu.

if i remember correctly i think that there might have been a recall that might have had something to do with the cruise control. im not sure though.

it's not fixed pulling the battery, just bandaged. Pull your cel code to be sure the next time it comes on again.

wasnt that recall just a few snap pins that held the cruise control cord to throttle in place so it didnt come loose?

Mine does the same...

The CEL comes on and the cruise light flashes...as you also know, the cruise does not work in this condition...

This is the normal sequence when you throw a certain cel...I just threw one the other day...I looked at my AP but can't remember it off hand...
