service engine soon light on lower right dash

I had this warning "service engine soon light" come on while driving to work. I went to the dealer, they indicated it's a sensative emission system. They said it happens alot. (They didn't have it on the diagnosis). Runs fine, 67K miles.

Just did platinum plugs,air filter.

Anyone else have this happen?

thanks.

You can pull the DTCs from

And translate the codes using:

did the diagnostic

Used the website from vbxmaxima. Instructions were perfect
Thanks alot.

I got a code: 55. 5 long 5 short. Double checked it several times.
Diagonsis: No Failure Recorded/Detected

I'm not sure what that means.

Thanks for any advise, before calling the dealer near home (not the ones by work).
