There is a black box with a white button that serves as the O2 sensor mileage
counter.  Are you referring to that?  As for your Ehx Sensor, if it truly is
not running rich, check the metal braiding on the probe that goes into the Cat.
 If it is worn and lost its continuity, I believe that will trigger the light.
