Check engine light flashes on launch?!?!

Middle Finger anyone?

You sure it is the check engine light and not the traction control warning light? The traction control light is a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle. Whenever you launch hard with the traction control on and still manage to spin a little the light will flash.

I have an 06 TL and never had this problem. I always turn the VSA off, just makes the car more fun to drive. But with that comes the annoying triangle that wont go away.....

I have had the same problem on my 04 TL since I bought it and dealer never gets a code. It has happened about 5 times now and all were upon heavy acceleration. It flashes for 8-10 secs and goes away. I don't notice any performance issues

Most of these cases (MIL while under heavy acceleration) are fixed by a reflash of the PCM. What year is your TL?

There are 2 or 3 TSBs that cover this, depending on year/model.

Any tsb's for 07 type S? I did a quick WOT run earlier on the freeway onramp like 40-80 ish, and the check engine light flashed for about 10 seconds and stopped. However the car ran perfectly fine.
