Did you get that msg / CEL at start-up or during normal operation at temperature?

Yeah It happened at start up. Immediately drove to an auto zone and had them check it. If my memory serves me right I had it cleared and waited for it pop back up again about 3-4 months ago and it just came back today. But I ended up driving with it on and traveling roughly 200 miles and I turned the car off then back on and it was gone. Does anybody know what it could be? I just don't want it to be a bad thing if I don't get it fixed.

Have you ever or do you currently get the start-up grinding noise upon start-up? Have you had this TSIB performed on your car?

After reading that link, it surely sounds like the symptoms of the carbon build-up TSIB.
