Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2018 dodge journey. While driving 35 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated.

The contact stated that the check engine indicator turned off the next day. The contact then called the dealer and was advised not to bring the vehicle in for repairs because the sensor system reset itself but if the check engine warning light re-illuminated to bring the vehicle back in for repairs.
