I think this link answers your question. Try resetting the ECM.
Check for unlimited mileage warranty. Several vehicles need an ECM flash to correct the problem.

Thank you for info, I already had reset ecm but light came back within 36 hours, (I drive 200 miles a day). the web site is very helpful, I will try these options I should have known the o2 sensor is first line of attack.
thank again
