the light varies between off and on, about 50% each time. On the
times when it is off, it comes on sometime later. In all cases but
one it stays on to the end. In that one case it went off after a
hard braking, then came back about 25 miles later.

away after some fuel was drained out? In other words, what is the
liklihood that it really needs attention?
