Your vehicle is now reset back to factory defaults. After it learns what
settings to use, your problem may reappear which will be an indication
that
you do have a faulty sensor somewhere.
In a ten year old vehicle, I'd suspect some cruddy connections. O2 sensors
need to be swapped out on a regular basis as routine maintennance. Some
software only looks for shorted or open sensors and won't give a fault
code
if the sensor is out of range. Get a manual with the sensor specs and test
every sensor.
