SES light Well I'm sitting in traffic minding my own business and jamming to the radio when all of a sudden "DING" the SES light comes on. I'm like WTF???
I have no idea what caused it or what code it is throwing.
I don't have headers YET, I've got 23,000 miles on the clock, I haven't changed anything in the engine for like 6-7000 miles so why all of a sudden did the light come on. The only thing that I have done recently is to paint the little plastic grill in the hood of the SS. I just did that this weekend.
I do have a S2 throttle body, P&P Maf ends, TSP lid and the dreaded K&N filter (oh no)
Do i need to take it to the dealer and get them to look at it and if so do i need to put the stock lid, maf, and paper filter in before i go? The only thing that I can't change out is the S2.
Anyohter ideas of what I should do before I change everything out and go to the dealer.
The real kicker is I just ordered headers this weekend and they are not even here yet and I'm already throwin a code. I guess just thinking about the Long tubes is doing it to the car LOL!!!
Anyway advice please, thanks

Well I went to Autozone and its an o2 sensor. Well my thought is to just not worry about it because in about 2-3 weeks I'm going to be installing headers, new catted Y and o2 sensors. So i think that the problem will "be taken care of" so to speak. Is that a good idea or do I need to go let the dealer do their dirty work first?

I actually had the same thing happen right before I put headers on my car. You should be ok to drive it just a little while if you are going to be swapping them soon. Just make sure you don't put the old 02 back in the new headers.
