Any comments to this?
Make sure it lights up when you turn the key...maybe the bulb just burned out.

Seriously, they CEL will reset itself, but if it was the GP circuit at fault it will come back.

Just put the tester on them and I got the following results:
GP5=136 ohms and the rest GP1 GP2 GP3 GP4 GP6=0.6 ohms
Now how to identify the GP on the engine?
I also looked with a flashlight under the manifold and all 6 of them looked new to me.

I believe they are numbered to match the cylinder numbers so #5 is second from the back. That's your faulty plug and that is the reason for the CEL. Again, if you paid the dealership to change them less than a year ago I would complain to them and let them re-replace #5 as it is under warranty. If they balk speak to the service manager.

It's a time consuming job to get to it as they will have to pull the intake manifold and would probably charge 2 hours labor, or $200+ just to replace the one bad plug now. If they have a clever tech with enough experience he might just be able to do it without pulling the IM, but would still charge you for the time it would take to do it anyway.
