But eventually the light came off, right? Do you have a code reader? I suggest you read any fault codes. Otherwise just wait for it to happen again and note the circumstances.

Maybe it was the traction control warning light? Maybe the wheels slipped when you tried to navigate over the snow mountain, hence the warning light.

No codes? Maybe it wasn't the AFS warning lights?
