Default Check Engine Light

Ok this is the second time the damn thing came on now in about 1500 miles. Both time were a result of spinning the tires in the rain. At least it'* consistant. Anyone know why this happens? Also is there anyway I can reset that light? Something simple like a fuse maybe?

It might be a traction issue. The traction control was on and the spinning wasn;t intentional.

If its still on, I suggest getting it scanned...Properly. Its the only way to really figure out whats wrong with your car. Once that is diagnosed, its much easier to lend a hand. If you have pulled the codes already, tell us what they are
