I have a 1996 900 SET and my light did the same thing twice and I also spent the $50 each time. After the first time the car ran a little weird (reduced power) so my mechanic checked the codes and it came up as "engine misfire". He reset the system and I replaced the Direct Ignition cartridge, which solved the reduced power issue. The DI unit was $340. Since then the check engine light has come on 3 more times in a one year period. 2 of the times the light shut off, but has now remained on for 4 months on th third time. I am now to the point of ignoring the light because I am not spending $50 each time to see "engine misfire".
I am not saying that replacing the DI unit will solve the issue. It did in my case of reduced power. I'm hoping someone can solve your problem, because it would offer me help as well.
Regards,
David
