On two occasions now the check engine light has come on in my 2002
Civic EX under the same conditions.

The car was left in the driveway for a few days and then driven into
the garage for a total travel distance of 7m (23ft). On the following
start-up the check engine light comes on.

I've reset the light both times by disconnecting the battery but I'm
wondering what may be causing the light to come on. I know from
experience that the previous generation Civic has a known problem with
not wanting to start after short distance drives on a cold engine and
I'm wondering if this generation may be a related problem.

Any advice is appreciated
