[Mike Pribyl]

There is Repair Trac information in the OTC Genisys tool that lists 3 
possible known problems of this type happening.  You should find someone 
having this tool, and have them read the code, and look in the Repair Trac 
section of the tool on this past known problems with the light remaining on 
you vehicle.
