something to think about...
a while ago i posted about getting the SES light and stuff...i didnt really know what was causing it but i didnt wanna take out my FC intake to take it to the dealers...so i just ignored it for a while until i could find to have it taken out...depending on gas prices, sometimes i go w/ Costco 91 octane, but if gas prices are similar, i go w/ mobil/chevron...gas prices went up a lil more so i filled up w/ costco gas 3 times in a row...after the second fill up, my SES light went away; then after the third costco fill up, i tried chevron and today, after about 150 miles on the tank, the light came back on...so now it seems that theres something about costco's gas...anybody have any ideas? and should i discontinue using costco?

if the cat triggered the light, then maybe the SES light just went off after going through a number of key cycles. I think some codes let the light go away after a bunch of on-off cycles of the car. You have fed-spec maxima?
