2024 Buick Envision — check-engine light turned itself off — still scan it?

BatteryLearner102Community StarterMay 8, 20262024 Buick Envision AvenirSan Antonio
2024 Buick Envision Avenir, about 17,500 miles. The light was on for two days and then disappeared before I could schedule service. Car feels normal. Is there still likely to be useful stored or pending data if I scan it now?

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. If a shop can't duplicate it on the 2024 Buick Envision, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. Happens in gear, not in park, for what that's worth.

If it were in my driveway, a pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2024 Buick Envision is losing coolant with no puddle. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. This is from a 2024 Buick Envision in San Antonio with 17,500 miles. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. I'd rather be boring and correct. Heat soak after errands is the other window.

Ask what changed right before it started. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2024 Buick Envision is losing coolant with no puddle. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. Do that first. That's coming from doing this as an owner, not a shop. I refuse to clear codes until someone else sees them.

Quick add on that: Get a real battery/charging test on the 2024 Buick Envision, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. On “check-engine light turned itself off — still,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.
