Engine light

I just had my new exhaust put on yesterday, which sounds amazing. But then last night my service engine soon light came on and has not gone off. I think it may be from the o2 sensor but not sure i haven't been able to get under the car to look to see if was hooked back up. Has anyone had this problem? Is it nothing to worry about or do i need to return to the shop?

Just take it somewhere and have them plug into your OBD-II port instead of guessing what the problem is.

Go to the ECU flash section and look for the rear o2 eliminator patch. I did it to mine and no more SES light! However if you have to pass emissions I am not sure how it would effect it since I don't have emission where the car is registered. Let me know if you need any help.

+1 to that, I recently put in 1 drilled HELP anti-fouler (part#42009) worked like a charm....using both of them I would have left my o2 sensor somewhere on the highway
