^you sure about that? I thought the pfc didn't have any codes. I know the manual says that you have have the pfc flash the CEL if the knock goes over a certain level but I didn't see anywhere in the manual where it talked about flashing the exhaust overheat light.

There is a sensor is the passenger floor/trans tunnel. The light will come on if the cat gets too hot, heats up the sensor, and could possibly heat up the cabin.

LOL.
Sorry I just thought it was funny to think of it as a button.

I get a lot of comments from new passengers (3rd gen virgins). "Why would I want to overheat the exhaust system?? And why is it on MY side of the car??" Always funny...
David Beale, is the sensor closer to main cat or pre-cat?
