Maybe an auto parts store has a code reader you can borrow to clear the codes? Chances are that 02 sensor malfunction CEL will come back. Do you have an accessport or any other engine tuning? Are you running a catless downpipe?

If you get an access port it will prevent that code from popping up. The problem is you are now catless and your sensor is detecting that. So technically nothing is wrong with your car but the sensor is out of whack because of of no cat's. Cobb fixes this with their accessport, or I know back when I had my 02 wrx you could get a resistor to put in the plug where the sensor wire plugs into in the engine bay. That would be the cheaper fix. Just do a search here or on nasioc for 02 sensor resistor or something like that.
