The Dreaded 'Service' Light 850 1996

Sigh, just when I thought I had the car perfectly repaired...briefly problem free for at least 3 weeks this time...

I got the mysterious "service" light up on the dash this morning, and now every time I start the car. It stays on for about a minute and then goes off. So far it hasn't come on at any other time than at start up.

I know, I probably need to have it decoded at the dealer...but I was hoping someone could put forth a theory or two.

I looked at the usual suspects...gas cap, hoses, air box, fuel evap...all seems okay. It might also have something to do with the fact that we are pushing 115 degrees fahrenheit these days.
