Goofy question but its been bugging me

Do radio signals effect our cars?The reason I'm asking is because ever since I bought the RS whenever I'm on a certain stretch of road thats by a AM radio tower my SES light comes on.If I check the code it comes up clean.Could the tower be setting off the light somehow?

I know that EMI (electromagnetic interference) from solid core race type spark plug wires can cause erroneous signals to be sent to engine management systems and other on-board electronic devices, so I guess if you get strong enough RFI (radio frequency interference) it may have some affect.
