The code 65 will not turn on the SES light. The vent and vacuum solenoid circuits have different codes. The 65 means that the PCM is reading bad values from the servo position sensor. Likely electrical, because the error happens when the sensor terminals are open, grounded, or shorted to voltage.

Thr problem sounds tune-up related to me. Could be the oxygen sensor, but problems like this are hard to diagnose without being by the car.

I don't like to recommend that parts be changed out blindly, because the best way to check them is by using a scan tool.

Your heated oxygen sensor may be a little pricey, changing it out would be at your own risk.

Depends on the cost of the sensor. If it has never been changed before, you might try it if it is under $40. A diagnostic scan will cost you $75 or more.

So I would price the sensor and then change it if it is relatively inexpensive. Some people recommend that it be changed periodically. Don't know if it will fix your problem.
