You can buy a basic OBD2 code reader for less than the price of a tank of gas. That will let you read and clear most trouble codes. Now's the perfect time to get one.

Disconnecting the battery before retrieving the trouble codes is like throwing out a registered letter without opening it.

Might be a dealer visit if my new o2 harness doesn't fix my message.
