There are dozens of things that SES could be for. You'll need to get it scanned to figure that part out. If you don't have access to an OBD scanner, any local Autozone will do it for you.

like RPM WS6 explained, it could be soo many different things. most likely a bad sensor, or something small like that. take it down to advanced, NAPA, etc. and have them scan it, then tell us what the code is.

Sounds like you have an O2 sensor thats going bad. Bank 1 should be the driver side exhaust manifold primary sensor, meaning the one before the cat. Also referred to as the "Upstream" sensor. They are about $79 at any auto parts store. I'd swap it out, reset the ECU, and see if it solves the problem.

its from your o2s. like posted above long tube headers will cause this problem, since the o2 sensors do not heat up as much as with the stock headers causing the o2 to read incorrectly and the code to pop up. i would clear the code for now, and see if it comes back on. if so id try the bosch o2s. the part number is 13111. they have higher wattage heaters to prevent this problem from happening.
