P1780 OBD II - MIL / Check Engine after key programming
I spent an hour or so programming a new master key. I had to erase all other keys, program the new master, then the valet key. Shortly after successfully doing this, the check engine light came on. Is it possible this is related and a temporary problem? I did crank the engine a bit while testing the keys.

Going to take it to autozone. I just noticed there is an OBD-II code, B2795, which goes on if you insert an unregistered key. Well, I definitely did that a few times while programming. Hope that's it and I can just clear it.

OK, the OBD-II code is P1780... PNP switch malfunction. But the light is now off when I start the car once the OBD-II scanner was plugged in.
Is it possible this is a false reading due to my frequent on/offing while trying to reprogram or should I consider it to be a dying PNP switch?
