service engine soon light, car runs fine??

Drove to work this morning, with no issues. Get out 10 hours later and start the car, as soon as its on throws the service engine soon light, cut the car off to do a visual inspection on the engine bay, nothing looked outta place, started car back up and drove it home, car runs fine, makes power and doesnt act different than normal. Could I just need to clean off my o2, or maf sensor? 03 evo 8 with intake, tbe w/no cat, hks 272's, walbro 255. Any advice appreciated, hopefully my motors fine.

Check the code, my guess is something related to the rear o2 sensor. Are you tuned? How did your tuner disable/fool the ECU for the rear o2?
