You can disconnect the battery for a while and the light should go away. The light is just there to warn you that something is wrong.

it shoulda cleared if that was the problem. I would go to autozone or somewhere and have them scan your codes. Its free and youll know what the problem is. Im guessing you probably have a bad one in the front also.

Have you done a pcm reset? Unplugging the battery will not do it.

The proper way to reset the PCM is key on, car OFF, pull the PCM IGN and PCM BATT fuse from the fuse blocks in the engine bay. Wait 10-15 mins. turn the key off, replace the fuses, start the car.

And nothing bad will happen to the car, right?

AaronR is wrong about what that code means, it has nothing to do with your O2 sensors. The secondary air injection is talking about your air pump. If you put a cold air intake on the car or something and didn't hook the air pump line up it could be that, or if you deleted the air pump all together. A tune could fix that problem easily. Many people delete their EGR and AIR when the start modding their cars.

Deleting the AIR is a free mod but it could be related to the lid if the air hose insn't connected to the lid, but as far as tuning, speedteck could do, They're by Fort Worth, and i think SQR or RPM is in Fort Worth as well, dont know their prices tho, you might wanna find there website and then give them a call

I knew it was prolly that hose, that's what i was talking about in that last post. But yeah it is pretty much only for the first few minutes of warm up, but it will make you engine light come on.
