Engine light on while in motion. Giving code fc 193208 stored in dme, just purchased the vehicle 8months ago, under warranty and this the second time it has happened. I believe the first trip was just a temporary repair to just reset the engine light. Now the engine light has been reset again and was told unable to repair.
