reset light.  Light stayed off so drove bout 5 miles to work.
Started car up after work light back and flashing. Went out
2 times at red lights. Bout halfway home it stayed off. This

garage for awhile to warm up and see if it goes out. Any

Scan for the OBDii trouble codes with a scanner to see what the issue,, No use guessing. An auto parts store can do this for free.
