SOB, my SES light

I have'nt pulled the code but I'm sure it's for cat inefficiency. Anyway, can I get a diagnosis. Every 150 miles the ses light comes on (after I reset the light by disconnecting the neg battery terminal). So is: 1) my cat bad or 2) is my O2 sensor bad?

Oh, and short of buying a code reader, anywhere I can get the code read (free would be best). Thanks...

Autozone and Advance Auto Parts both read codes for free. I think they can only pull Emissions type codes, not mitsu specific ones.

Use ScanTech and your Tactrix cable to read it.

They are able to pull mitsu specific codes, but they will only be able to give you the # of the codes, then you have to report back with the code # and we will be able to tell you what it is.

I think an OBD2 scanner is a descent investment, it only costs $50 at walmart and 3 of my family cars are able to use it.

I use Scantech (free download) and my tactrix cable to read and clear SES codes. It's alot more convenient than having to drive to an autoparts store and have them read and clear it.
