UPDATE to my situation.

Ever since my major repair for P0018 a few weeks ago (read my previous posts in this thread to get the back story), my check engine light has now come back on TWICE since then. However, this is a different CEL than before, because there is no traction control "slip" light present, just the CEL, AND the car does NOT go into limp mode at all. Still have all my power and car feels totally normal.

First time was a few weeks ago on the way home from Ottawa. Had driven approximately 16 hours out of the past 48 hours, and the light came on about 40 minutes from home on my way back. I was panicking at the time, but the car was acting normal, and then I started the car the next day, and the light was gone, all by itself. I never ended up getting it scanned while the light was on; not sure if the car stores codes?

Happened again last night, again only about half an hour from home after an almost-2-hour drive, but once again there is no slip light; just the CEL, and the car drives and feels totally 100% normal.

I'm going to try to get this one scanned while the light is still on. While I'm hopeful that it will just turn itself off again, I really don't want to have to deal with this goddamn light turning on and off again and again for the rest of my ownership of this car, because even though it doesn't seem to be making a difference in the way the car drives, it's still plenty annoying and frustrating.

Thanks.
