My 'check engine' light came on and I had the code 'read'.  It came up with
a code P3069, but there was no description.  We cleared the code, and it
didn't come right back on, so maybe it was a stray gamma ray ;-)

Seriously, anyone else run into this code?

Are you sure? Maybe it was P0369?

The code you listed is beyond the range of available codes. Check this link

Well, P0369 is also not on the list, so gamma rays sound as good as any
other explanation ...

There are no codes beyond P1999 - the numbers just don't go any higher.
P0001-P0999 are for "generic" OBD-II codes - ones that can and are used
as standard codes by all/any manufacturers. P1000-P1999 are for
manufacturer specific codes - proprietary codes.

There are no P3### codes - so either the code reader is badly broken, or
whoever read it for you didn't read it correctly.

Or it was a gamma ray.

Well, the damn light is on again, so I'll go back and have the code read
again and pay extra close attention!   I'll stay away from cosmic dust
trails for a while too!

It could be sun spots, so maybe you should only drive at night ...
