It's an LED light that's part of the circuit board. It isn't gonna be easy, but I thought those type of lights would last longer than bulbs would. Maybe have it looked at under warrenty.

Perhaps you're throwing a diagnostic code...

Check your codes...then clear them, then see if the light comes back on.
Check your fuses...you know those little things that burn out to protect the electrical components?

Your engine doesn't heed to be checked!





The bulb is probably burned out....Either dealer or regular auto store (autozone) should have bulbs.

well, you can always try to reset the light...
to do that just turn the car off, and hold in the trip odometer button, then turn the car on and hold in the button for like 10 seconds and it will reset the light, then it might work.
Just an idea...
