Rist Ellen, no need to worry, that is a warning/indicator light, supposed to
tell you to go to the dealer and have a new O2 sensor put in.  To reset it
you have to go under the van near the left front.  There is the speedometer
cable that comes from the center of the left front wheel.  Trace that until
you come to a 'black box' that has another cable coming out the other side
and going up through the wall and into your instrument cluster, that's the
other half of the speedo cable.  On the black box there is s switch, IIRC in
a hole in the box.  That switch has to be pushed to turn off the light for
another 30,000 or 60,000 miles.  I've never had to do it so can't give more
specific instructions.  But anyway, even if the light being on bugs you it
does not indicate any problem.
