Yep, it's the battery. You have to reset your steering angle position sensor. What you do is turn your steering wheel all the way to the left, then all the way to the right, and back to center. The light will go off.

You can always go with a normal battery, lol. Ask yourself this, do you really need a high performance battery?

Go to AutoZone and buy their $90 batteries.

You can also get a discount by bringing and trading in your old battery.

They don't sell spark plugs for the 8 at a normal auto-parts store. I tried Kragen, Pep Boys, AutoZone, and a handful of other places. They are expensive as hell from a normal auto-parts store and they have to be special ordered.
