I was really pissed today. I have a 2000 Chevy S10 pick up. I rarely
use it and ity only has 35k miles on it. Any way after a period of non
use (about 3 months) I turned the engine on this morning and got red
light flashing on the dash saying Check Engine for Service. Now
accordingf to the maintenance book I have the only service this vehicle
needs now is oil changes, air filter and pvc valve changes, The light
COULD be indicative of the onboard computer reporting something more
serious with the engine. So I took the truck on down to the Chevy
dealer today to have them check it out. 6 hour later I went back to
pick up the truck and was nothing wrong with the truck, just a stuck
wiring, which they unstuck and for a diagnostic check on the computer
charged me 69 dollars for. fuckin' computers.........!!!

Too bad you didn't know this before now, but at least you will the next time:
most of the major chain auto parts stores (AutoZone, Advance Auto, O'Reilly,
etc) will read the "Check Engine" codes for you for FREE. Of course, then you
get to fix the problem, too...
