SES light. what to do!?

ok so i was driving on the highway and it it just popped on... wasnt doing anything weird or crazy. doing around 60-65mph. so i get home pop the hood... and i check my intake filters... one seemed a tiny bit loose. not nearly loose enough that i could pull it off.... but it did wiggle a little bit and i tightened both sides(hose clamp screws)... i tried taking the Negative battery terminal off to reset the computer and it was off for 15 second and came back on... is it my MAF's(god i hope not)... or something stupid like o2 sensors? i know it could be a bunch of things

should i remove the Fujita intake and put stock back on and take it to the dealer?

Check your gas cap. If you recently put gas in your car and didnt tighten the gas cap the SES light will come. It happened to me and once I tighten it, the light will reset itself in a few days.....

Even if they do as long as the stock is installed correctly they would never be able to prove it. You just take care of engine bay thats all

It really depends on the dealer, but I would demod the whole car, since you don't have too many mods, looking at your sig. Then take it to the dealer and hope for the best. Good Luck

how about you get it scanned to see what threw the light? Usually this can be done at autozone or other local car parts place.

Now try putting the intakes back on and drive with them for a couple days to see you if you get the SES again.
