Why do the real wheels lock up when they are wet and it is freezing weather
This light indicates a fault code with the ECM (Electronic Control Module), In order to correct, you will first need to diagnose via a code read. Since your car is an '05, you will need your codes read either at the dealership, or (less expensive alternative), a national parts chain such as "Advance or Auto Zone", for FREE! They will do this service in hopes of selling you a part to correct the issue. Usually when the light comes on it indicates a sensor or selenoid that can be interpreted thru the code read. Good Luck! I hope you find this to be very helpful!
Thanks to this and other forums, let me tell you what worked for me. My father-in-law drove out to California to see us for Christmas and his check engine light came on. I found this forum, and called AutoZone, and found out that it is not allowed for them to check it in California. (??). I called a Firestone auto center, and they wanted $100 flat fee to do a diagnostic check. But on another forum, I found that if you turn the ignition on-off-on 3 times, ending with on, within 5 seconds, it will display the code where the odometer reading is. Sure enough, that worked, but NO CODE was displayed, just "donE". I found another forum that said they checked gas cap, and fluid levels. Gas cap was fine, but coolant was about an inch above Min. Also Power Steering fluid was right at the bottom of the fill range. So we topped off both fluid levels, and by the time we got back from the gas station, the light went off. $14 worth of fluids, and saved $100. Hope this helps you too!

It sounds like it may be your O2 sensor because if it is not working properly, the engine cannot determine how much fuel to ingest which would cause rough idling.

i wouldnt worry to much if it runs good. but beware in some cases it could get real exspensive

You can buy the TPS Sensor, at any auto parts store, and install yourself.
Just two torx screws ,T-20 I believe, About $78.00,check NAPA.com etc.
No reprogramming of PCM. Don't know where that came from.
You better have a TPS Code set, or know how to test it.
Even the pros throw parts at vehicles,without testing first.
Test it and do yourself.
Whenever
this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating
that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of
lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected
a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM,
SRS, TPMS, MIL, CEL and BCM faults and others) as long as the light
is on. You must now have the dealer hook up a special electronic
diagnostic tool and "scan" the system for the fault code
that is stored for the problem(s)
Legend of Abbreviations. ABS Anti-lock brake system. TCS Traction control system, TCM Transmission control module, SRS Supplemental restraint system, BCM Body control module. TPMS Tire Pressure Monitor System, MIL Malfunction Indicator Lamp, CEL Check Engine Light.
