Go to an Autozone type place and have them scan the code to see what the problem is. There's hundreds of reasons that light could come on...guessing is pointless.

Damn should have done. "Check the floor boards for looseness because in FNF they came loose and fucked everything up"

My autozone says free scans right on the front window. Anyway, it could be an o2 code or it could be something like a gas cap not being on correctly.

Autozone obdII testing has always been free. However seeing that your from CA I wouldn't put it past them to have some stupid law against reading and clearing your own codes.

they'll just hold your license while you take it outside and use it.. if you wanna take it home, it'll cost you a deposit.. which you get right back when you turn it in.

No codes? hmmmm

I see you are a Gemini

Geminis are associated with the Third House, which rules short trips. Are you planning one
?"


Well there you see. Don't panic about the SES light. It's probably a bad ground fixable by a monkey-wrench. Don't take any long trips until you get this fixed!

No... clearly it's your torque converter throwout bearing. Check it before you go.

BTW if it ain't makin funny noises.. there's nothing wrong. Think of the SES light as an indicator of whether or not you are trying hard enough... if it ain't on.. you ain't tryin

I don't have a magic 8-ball here at my desk, but a look into the planets may help.

"the red planet Mars tries to play the role of one-man wrecking crew by squaring the Moon (8:00AM PDT) and beginning a void lunar cycle lasting until 10:48AM PDT when the Moon enters Libra. After 10:48AM PDT, relationship issues and themes are back in the spotlight for the next two days, leading up to an enlightening Full Moon on Thursday April 13. This is a good point in the Cosmic Calendar to remember that the two days before a Full Moon are days of preparation -- to become emotionally and mentally ready for a spiritual dispensation at the exact time of the Full Moon. The two days following a Full Moon are days of distribution of the exalted energies received at the moment of the Full Moon. "

If you can go on Thursday, then you may go on your trip.
Go ahead and start that romatic relationship you've been thinking about,
and consider investing into some electronic test equipment for your primary means of transportation.
