I was driving my vehicle in Vancouver and the battery kept dying overnight. The vehicle died on me when I was driving it and I just jumped it and drove to Canadian Tire to get a new battery. That seemed to work until I got back to Albert and a check engine light came on. It was a code for an exhaust manifold pressure. Code was cleared and I was told it was probably nothing to worry about. The code did not come back on for a few months.
