They have always had the technology to make it much better, and much more useful than it is. How? When that light comes on, don't you just have a feeling of dread come over you? Like... "I wonder what the heck is wrong now?", because you know the next step involves going to a repair shop, dealer, or local parts store... just so they can TELL you what the light means this time.
