So after about 2 days of searching i only came up with one hit regarding my issue and it was in the airbag light reset sequence thread. Someone posted they had an engine light but there was no response how to fix or reasons why.

On to the issue...2 weeks ago i installed my Pioneer Double din head unit using the factory face plate. Not that it makes much of a difference but i also ran a pioneer backup camera through the trunk and a sirius/xm antenna.

After completing the install i had the air bag light issue and ran the diagnostic mode sequence and finally got the air bag light to turn off.

After i got the airbag light to turn off and thought i was in the clear, i noticed that my SES light was on....I thought after a week or 2 the ECU would possibly re-learn itself but this is obviously not the case.

I have NOT tried taking the negative battery cable off yet or have NOT scanned for any codes because the car is literally brand new. I got it 3 weeks ago and it have like 400 miles on it so there shouldnt be any major issues (or at least i would hope so).

Anyone have any insight on this issue??? Anything is greatly appreciated. Worst case i hope to go to autzone and get a scan this weekend.

Thanks in advance.
