Sounds like you need to reset your o2 sensor behind your speedo. I had to do mine also awhile back, then I just disconnected it for good measure

The light doesn't do anything except remind you its time to replace the o2 sensor. It just comes on 30,000 miles after the last time it was reset. At least I think it's 30,000 miles.

If you're unsure about the condition of your O2 sensor, you should probably
disconnect it. The SCs Lambda unit will set the frequency valve at a 50% duty cycle which in turn will set the fuel mixture at a nuetral position, i.e. not too rich/lean (which a bad O2 sensor may cause). In either case, lean/rich mode could cause problems, e.g. damaged CAT, burnt valves.
