What does it mean whena a SES light goes away??? A week ago my SES light went off in my car. I deleted the p0430 code twice and it came back every time. I gave up on deleting the code on Thursday and had ithe SES light on the car all day long. Friday morning I went to turn on the car and the SES light was gone. I have driven the car for more than 100 miles and hard at that. The code has been gone for almost three days now.
I dont think the code will come back. What does it mean when a SES light goes away on its own?

when my first "bad cat" code came on, i called the dealer he said to bring it by, on the way out there i put in premium gas (whatever the octane is for that, it was at a mobil station) and about 2 blocks from the dealership, the light went out. ive head higher octane burns cleaner, i wonder if you did that, and the cat was just borderline bad, and with the cleaner gas, the computer turned the light off
