Please tell me you have a late model Toyota Corolla?  My check engine light came on recently with a similar code, and the potential cost of repair has been worrying me. 

I would bet many of us here have a similar experience ::D:

Wish I could say yes, it's a '16 kia soul.

 I worked my first warehouse job in high school, at the Sears warehouse. It was actually part of our job, when getting rid of things like burned-out fluorescent tubes and damaged televisions to break the glass on them to release the gas inside (hey, it was the '80's...) ...

 Yup - in addition to tossing fluorescent tubes into a dumpster from twenty feet away off the loading dock, seventeen-year-old me got to TAKE A SLEDGEHAMMER TO TV SCREENS...  /cdn-cgi/mirage/424ec5954802f267686797aa76846a7ad365418961a51ef33586afd71a28e145/1280/https://forum.reapermini.com/uploads/emoticons/default_biggrin.png

I got paid to do that too, although it was to the back of screens at an electronics recycling place.  Was kind of fun, but excessively monotonous, and boy were the workplace shenanigans extreme there.

RE: Jury Duty.

If you are ever part of the prospective panel for a Drunk Driving case express "views" on the matter of drunk driving and the defense attorney will do everything within his power to have you dismissed.

While recuperating from my "accident", caused by a drunk driver, I was called for Jury Duty and the case was a drunk driving trial.  When I expressed my views, bolstered by the reasons for those views, the defense attorney popped up like his chair was spring loaded to have me dismissed.

Goes the other way, too.  I was dismissed by the prosecutor because I answered no to the question "if you saw someone swaying while walking down the hall, would you assume they're drunk?" (or something to that gist)

 

His question was poorly worded, but I guess my no answer made him assume that I was going to be too hard to convince that the defendant was drunk.  I have no idea, I never heard any of the evidence. Might have been a slam dunk case against the guy.

In my experience expressing any sort of strong views during the interview, or asking questions will get you dismissed.  And then there was my college room-mate who walked in and said he was looking forward to being on a jury, because he could tell guilty people just by looking at them....

Did it start when it got cold?

 

I have an 04 Corolla and it had the check engine pop on when it got cold. 

Turned out there's a bug with one of the sensors that they were able to correct by updating the computer so it didn't freak out whenever it got cold.
