not sure. left the car for a few hours with the R switch off. came back out a few hours later and the ses was gone. turned the R switch back on and the still no sign of the ses light.

but unfortunately, the light came one again the next day. turned off the R switch and the light went away again. plugged in a c-reader and its telling me there are no codes.
