I need some HELP!!!!
Okay, the other day my SES light comes on for the first time. So, I go to get the DTC's. Pull off the little panel to turn the screw and there's nothing there! It's just a hole. WTH! I don't know if the previous owner messed with it or what but there's nothing to turn. Anyway, while I was trying to find the screw, my car made an electrical noise. Came up and saw the light blinking codes!?!? I have no idea how that happened. They were 0509 - front heated oxygen sensor in y-pipe, and 1008 - Evap canister. I installed my Cattman y-pipe three weeks ago so the 0509 is probably no coincidence. You think the sensor went bad all of a sudden or could it be something else. Also, how the heck am I supposed to check the codes regularly without that screw? I don't even know how the codes popped up in the first place. Should I replace that whole unit, which seems expensive as hell? I guess I'll have to reset the ECM by unplugging my battery. 
Do you think the dealership will fix those things under warranty. I am concerned because of my mods. Any and all help is appreciated. Thanx in adv.

The Sensor probably got damaged during removal or replacement during the Y pipe install.. i know.. mine did too.. just head to the dealership.. pick up the O2 sensor you need and fix it yourself.. 5 min job.. make sure you know if its the Front LEFT Heated or Front RIGHT Heated

How much were your SSR GT1's?
