Took a while to find it but is this what it looks like? May be the ETC or electronic throttle control warning light http://blogs.insideline.com/roadtest...l-gremlin.html

Different vehicle but still a Chrysler product.

That lightening bolt would be the throttle. Did you find out would the code was for causing the check engine light to come on?

I'd check into that, if that system fails the engine will not respond to the accelerator and you'll be stuck.

I had that light too on my 2008. Ended up costing me about $700 to get the inake area completely cleaned. Hopefully you'll have better luck.

Default 2012 dodge Grand caravan

Van decided not to start this morning. The ETC light came on. Never had it happen before. I can not get it to start at all. I am 2000km over my warranty! How can I tell what is wrong rather than a towing fee and dealership costs? Go figure just as the warranty is up!

You got raped on that one. It's ridiculously simple to clean the throttle body.
