Check Engine light just came on, Dealer Closed for Christmas
This morning I noticed 'Check engine light' was on while driving my 4 mile commute to work. Dealer is closed do you think it'll be okay to drive till I get it in? TUNKA got it's first service about 7 weeks ago which amounted to an oil change. When I finished work I check the oil level seemed ok, then went over to Gas cap, which I've never been to impressed with; one click it's done.
So what do you think, maybe they forgot to reset Data for engine? Comments appreicated.

A CEL means that the ECM has detected a fault in one or more systems, normally it is ok to drive it till you can get to the dealer , if your gas cap was loose the evap system would have picked that up on its normal system check and set the CEL the only way with OBDII to get it off is with a scan tool so off to the dealer you go should be covered under warranty in most cases !!!
 Thsi is different the the maintanance required light which is for your OIL CHANGE REMINDER!

Clearing codes
As these trucks become older and the chain parts stores will be able to reset the codes for free. If you need a reset you can call them and ask them if there computers have the new codes.
Food for thought

Merry Christmas, thanks for answer!
Guess I will not be driving it today then, I hope my one and only dealer will handle it without fuss tomorrow.
 It went into the dealer today, turns out a carbon filter housing had a crack in it and has to be replaced.
