Arlene,
I just had the same thing happen to my 88 wolfsburg.

Go into the e-mail archives and type in oxygen sensor. You'll get a
bazillion replies.

It appears that it is not even connected to the sensor. It is connected to
the speedo cable and every 60k miles or so it goes on as a reminder to
have it checked.  From what it says there is a way to reset it it up under
where the spare tire is.

I thought i saved it on my laptop, but I didn't.

check it out...i think you'll be ok to just reset it as long as your van
is running good at the time.
