Reving the engine to redline seems like an, um, "interesting" way to
determine the significance of a Check Engine light _warning_. Please, stop
doing that! It could be any number of things, and usually could be
diagnosed by checking for any stored ECU trouble codes. Why not simply
bring it to your dealer. After all, the car is under warranty.
