as far as i know, even if the car throws a light (i.e. CEL) once, it will get stored. at that point, a tech should be able to pull the code from history.

they found it--exhaust solenoid malfunction. should clear up the rough idle and i'm really hoping it helps with my MPG.

Any luck getting this resolved?

I have the same issue in my 550 except no warning lights or anything... car seems to run well otherwise.
Hasn't effected performance, cold starts are OK too. Just happens when I come to a rolling stop with the car in drive. Goes away if A/C is turned on.

It's really just a minor annoyance at this point...
