CEL on, CEL off

Hey, I know there's big threads about this stuff and I did read through them but just want some more input.

Bought a used '15 w/ 21k miles over the weekend on Saturday. Sunday after breakfast the CEL and TC light came on, got on here, read the mega-sticky and groaned, but I'm ok because warranty.

So I call the dealer I bought it from, they say take it to a Toyota dealer. I drive down to the Toyota dealer knowing their service dept isn't open but wanted to confirm warranty status. Got nothing but a bunch of BS from the sales guys "gas cap is loose" "car was sitting needs to figure itself out again" "TC light on means it's working"

Anyway, driving home from the Toyota dealer and the TC light goes off. Thinking maybe it does need to 'figure itself out' lol.. jokes on me I commute it 30 miles to work and the CEL goes off!

I'm going to have the code pulled at an auto parts store later today just for sanity and in case it comes back I have a little bit of a clue what's up before I take it to the dealer.

Based on the mega thread this just comes with the territory on these cars, but I kind of thought this would be sorted on a '15.

I guess I don't have a question I just wanted to vent a little. I'm keeping the car even though I could 'return' it today if I wanted.
