There is a temperature probe (sensor) that is underneith the passager seat. Pull the seat and pull back the carpet.
It is there to tattle-tale on the exhaust converter if it gets to hot. Thus giving you the 411 on the cat converter is getting to hot and catching your car on fire.

Yep, thats why like i said just remove them. unless you still pass smog and your due for one.
