So I'm out driving around in my 2013 touring 6MT when I get a solid "Service Engine Soon" light. I bought the car when it had 5 miles on it and now has 931 miles.

I always make sure to hear the click of the gas cap at the station so I'm pretty sure it wasn't that. The only thing I can think is maybe there are timed intervals where it comes on for regular service? I've had it about 3 months which is when the first service normally occurs according to the maintenance manual.

I don't drive it that often (hence only 931 miles in 3 months) and only for joy rides or short trips so I'm sort of leaning toward Schedule 1 mentioned in the maintenance manual. I've always gone off of the mileage as opposed to time since it makes more sense to me but maybe with this being brand new, I should take it in at the 3 month interval.
