Thanks for your help. I was really hoping there was another way as I have read multiple "short cuts" on the internet on how to rest the SES which did not require an immediate repair. The code indicates a possible O2 sensor or cat problem which will most likely be costly. The car runs great so I do not see the need to spend big $'s at this time. Just want the light to go away.

you can unplug the battery for 10 minutes have an auto parts store clear it for free or a mechanic shop can do it for a small fee. if it keeps coming back on, there's a problem you have to fix to keep it off

I added some gas treatment to the tank to see if this would help remove the SES. Thought maybe the gas cap also was the problem. Unsure. Where do you get SeaFoam? I might want to try that too. If I do have to re[air anything I hope it is the O2 sensors versus the cat. Big difference in cost. Also, anyone know how to reset the sunroof? The battery was dead for quite a while so the car was not driven (6 months). I figure this is why the sunroof will not open or tilt since it worked prior. Thanks.

No rodent damage as car was protected during sitting. No dome light change when sunroof button is pushed. There has got to be a simple explanation for the sunroof but I cannot locate how to reset or check any type of relay or circuit breaker for it. Nothing in fuse box related to sunroof.
