Is there any way to check? The manual says don't touch it...

Most likely the light module in the lamp itself died, or LIN communication to is it disrupted. New module is easy enough to swap in through the access cover in the fender liner but it must be coded to function.

Hopefully you're still under warranty?

On my way home I stopped at Starbucks and when I got back in, all is well. Then when I got home I let the car sit, start it up and the only the turn signal warning came on this time.

Extended warranty but I don't know if this is covered. I'll have to take to the dealer and have them call it in.

Hopefully it is. I have a CPO, but opted to pony up for the "Platinum Wrap" as that specifically included electrical issues that the standard CPO warranty did not.

Since these faults are intermittent, is there a chance something's loose? In my experience with electronic/electrical components, if it's dead, it's dead but if it's loose you'll get intermittent capability. Seems kind of weird the first fault threw all the codes but then only the turn signal after that.
