Exactly. We've had "Check Engine" lights for years that effectively say, "something's fucked". This says, "Something's fucked, and under DRM".

To be fair, my car has one specific circuit board that can only be fixed by a dealership mechanic. Found out about that one after it malfunctioned on the highway, my car turned off, and I couldn't use the breaks while coasting at 65 mph. I called half a dozen mechanics before one told me that it was a dealership issue because it required special equipment to code the circuit board. Wish my car told me that so I wouldn't have wasted all that time.

I would've gone to the mechanic anyway, they have a scanner that can read this code and they'll know what to do...
