On the V6, the light will come on when a fault is detected and will
remain on until you shut off the engine. It will not come on again
unless another fault is detected. The ECU does store the code, however,
so even if the light isn't on you can still find out what the fault
was.

If you know how, try dumping the codes and I can look them up for you.

If memory serves, the most likely faults are going to be EGR-related.
Things like O2 sensors, ISV, cam and crank position, etc. typically
appear around town...
