use an OBD reader and get the code. shocking to see a CEL on the S as they are ultra reliable.

yea i just did, so will it go off if i drive it around?

If it's the fuel cap, then it'll take 3-6 driving cycles for the CEL to turn off after you tighten the cap (at least that's what it takes on my '02). Naturally, this is now a moot point since you've reset the ECU.
