no, you can check it yourself...locate a blue harness on the passenger side of the center console...then take a copper wire or a paperclip and bend it into a "U" shape. Stick it into the harness (while leaving your key in the "on" position without the car being started) and this will tell the ECU to go into diagnostic mode. Hold the wire there and read the light pattern that emits from the CEL. one long blink = 10 and each short blink = 1.
for example...if the light blinks: !...!!! = 13
then the code is 13.
