FLAPS kid gave us a scare.
My daughter said the check engine light came on so she dropped by the nearby FLAPS to have them check the code. The kid plugged in the scanner but said there wasn't a code to read. He told her it "might be something with power steering but since he couldn't get a code to read she would probably need to take it to the dealership!"
When my daughter came over, I grabbed the keys to check things out. As soon as I started it up I saw the problem. Turns out she had low tire pressure! The big drop in temps lately brought the tire pressures down enough to trigger the sensor. I wasn't too upset that my daughter didn't know what the light on the dash meant (and was happy that she didn't just ignore it) but the FLAPS kid was totally clueless and should have known better.
Cranked up the compressor and grabbed my tire gauge. Five minutes and I fixed the "power steering problem" and save her a few hundred bucks. Score:
Dad:1
FLAPS:0
