Points to hot film air mass meter sensor that you put on intake. Make sure its in correct position and your seals are good on intake after sensor.

Unplugged the MAF plugged it back in, then sorta repositioned the intake. SES light was still on. Then a couple hours later I go to take my car out and now it's off and has remained off the rest of the day
