I have about 12000 miles of which 9000 are highway (Wi to Florida)
etc. The check engine light came on. It runs fine, I can take it in
tomorrow to the dealer but I want to wait a week till after
thanksgiving- am I going to be in trouble? It runs fine. Just the
light is on. By the way, I love it. get about 20-21 mpg on the road at
75ish mph.

In general, your CE light can mean anything is up. Essentially you have an
on board diagnostics system checking a ton of things, any which can trip
the light.

You can take the van into AutoZone and they'll read your codes for free. At
least at that point you can determine if it is a critical issue or one that
can wait.

Nice van, eh? A little smallish but functional. I used ours (38K miles)
this weekend to haul a bunk bed and two mattresses from the store to our
house. Man! I had all four rear seats out and the van was loaded top to
bottom! :)

It's under warranty so it won't cost anything. I called the dealer
back and he said that as long as it's not FLASHING and the van is
running well- I can wait till the monday after thanksgiving.

I had the same problem just a few weeks ago on my 2004. Stopped by the
dealer on the way home fomr work, turned out it was the gas cap. Seems there
was a bur on the fill neck that has scored the cap gasket. The removed the
bur, and flipped the cap gasket, reset the computer and all is well now.
Take a look at yours
