Who’s a mechanic? The check engine light in my Durango came on last night as I pulled into Duluth. The truck is running fine. I averaged 25MPG on the trip up. No funny noises. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Let it slide and check it when I get home? Or, go get the code read before I drive it?
I’m leaning to option 1. But it’s snowing and it’s be a bummer to be stuck on the side of 35W today.

If it's a solid light ignore it, if it's flashing might be something to figure out. I don't know Durango though. Do some interneting.

I always go with the bad gas thought....lol. I'm right off of 35 in North Branch if you end up needing some help!

Its probably an oxygen sensor, I'd run it until you get home.

Home. Light still lit. Truck ran fine. I got a Chevy farm truck with 300,000 miles that has every light on in the dash I think you could have come on. Been that way for 10 years. Never failed us yet. Lol

Lol 150,000 on mine. I guess even a plugged vent on the gas tank can turn lights on. I imagine dusty roads plug that often.

You could unplug the battery and reattach. It’ll probably go out and come back on within 10 miles. It’s probably the O2 sensor as Freeborn said.

Took it in for an oil change / tire rotation. I'll let my mechanic figure it out.
