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.
