I have a 2006 Saturn Ion and the check engine light comes on and a little check engine light comes on with an arrow pointing down. If you turn the car off and on several times the little one goes off. After the car is turned off for about an hour the check engine light goes off. What is the problem?

There is most likely a problem with your charging system. Modern cars are very dependent on proper electrical power flow. If your charging system is not working correctly your engine will not run well, and eventually will stop altogether.
A lot of diffrerent things can cause the check engine icon to come on.
Good idea to have the 2006 ION scanned by a technician with their equipment to pinpoint the problem.
I would not say anything else until more data is gathered.
its possible that there is an electrical short circuit to ground on your steering system, check your fuses and relays to see if any are blown or not operating the transmission and engine would shut down as a safety precaution in this case
You have an intermitten problem, and 10 to one it's in the evap emissions system. With the light coming on and off the computor doesn't have time to store a code. When the light comes on and stays on, then go back to autozone and get the code.
