12-battery has been disconnected within the last 50 key-on cycles.
21-02 sensor problem (oxygen sensor), upstream or down stream (probably upstream sensor)
55-end of codes.

I'd check the wiring to the sensor and see if its frayed or a anything. Reset the PCM and see if it comes back.

i have reset the pcm via battery disconmnect at least a dozen times and the mechanic has "wiped" the pcm 3 times as well, and the light stays off for about 3-5 turn ons after the "wiped" has been done, but with me disconnecting the battery it comes on immedatly...unless any of you know a better way to wipe the pcm

wire frayed...i'll get that checked but still, any suggestions

It comes back on because you have the code 21 problem.
