Thats the same code I have but i have an 2k, and you have an 2k2. I wonder if the years and different engines matter. Anyone else have clue?

I think I may be outta luck here. I don't exactly have what you would call a friendly relationship with the dealer. I am at a loss as to what to do. Do I replace the cat and/or tube assy-exhaust, or do I say screw it and put tape over the light?
