I'm betting an O2 sensor...I'd take it to a shop that can pull the code and see for sure, but I bet that's what it is.

Um, like did you read the page I posted a link to? If so, it has the details.

In summary, use one of these Special Service Tools:



Tip: A metal one works much better than a plastic one.

Insert it into the diagnostic plug, either the type as shown on the page I posted or this one on the driver's side fender (connector circled in cyan):
