I have one light that will continue to come on no matter how I get rid of it...check engine soon....I'm possitive it is the oxygen sensor but how do I know which one as there are several? I just had the "air bag" light come on as well....what's that all about?
Thanks guys

First thing you need to do is have the codes read, Autozone does it free, Post the results with the code number(s). Even if the service engine light is not on, there should be freeze frame data stored.
In your case you may have to go to a more specialized shop, one that can read the air bag trouble codes..the codes once read will tell you which 02 sensor is bad, in the form of bank 1 sensor 1 or 2 1 is closest to the motor, 2 is after the cat...
