Go to your local auto parts store and see if they'll pull the code for you, then have someone here look it up. Or you could just buy a code reader (I'm thinking about doing this) they only cost around $40.

Unplugging the battery probably won't, or shouldn't clear the code. OBD-ll cars store the codes in memory. I believe autozone checks codes for free.

if it is an o2 sensor problem, removing battery will allow it to shut off till the car runs long enough to throw a new signal. Normaly under 30 mins and you should have this. When I had injector "issues", I couldn't get the car off my driveway without the light coming one after a reset. Anyhow, good luck.
