My wife's 2014 CX-5 lit up its CEL for a while the other day. She checked the obvious things (gas cap, washer level) and a while later it went out again and has stayed out since.
I borrowed an ODB2 scanner and checked it just now, and it showed a code P0571 which apparently is something to do with the brake light switch or cruise-control cancel mechanism, although the brake lights appear to work just fine (on and off when they should) and the cruise-control still cancels properly.
She's a little worried (I probably shouldn't have mentioned that it was something to do with the brakes!) but unless the CEL comes on again I'm inclined to write it off as a glitch and not suffer the hassle of a dealer visit.
Thoughts?
