I did try removing the battery cable for a while, and the SES light was off for a few seconds then returned. Sounds like I may be stuck taking my lumps at the dealer.

...or u decide to DIY. Once in a lifetime ECU gives something meaninful, like points to a broken device.

Here it could be (could it ?, u check): 1. Cam pos sensor. 2. Adjustment. 3. Oxidized contacts.

1. & 2.Replacing that DIY, adjusting is quite easy. Price is less than hood opening at stealer$hip... U only need the part, adj lamp and data. For Data on u vehicle, click on: http://carfiche.com/manuals/
Or crap chilton online: www.autozone.com

3. For contacts clean, Click on my web page http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/748507/14


Can u do it? Anybody with life experience to read codes is better than the instant experts starting first job today... called techs.
