Changed my exhaust from behind the cat today...

...and now my computer is beeping at me.

It's just 5 beeps, pause. 5 beeps, pause. 5 beeps, pause. 5 beeps, pause.

What's the issue?

look in the second gen faq...
5-beeps, pause, repeat - in case abnormality of steering sensor signal: Steering sensor is mis-aligned or failed or steering wheel has been improperly installed.
not much else that beeps in the car... so there you go

I don't see how this has anything to do with it, BUT there is a ground strap that was attached to the stock drivers side muffler. My car did weird stuttering things because I didn't replace it. I added a ground strap at the cat, and it all went away.

Same here, it beeps other times, sometimes the beeping is very faint, and other times it clicks.

It's nothing to do with the exhaust, it's the steering sensor. Just happened to come on at the same time.

How do I fix the sensor?

A while back I got a steering wheel adapter as a gift, and well it was an cheap ebay piece. To make a longer story short, I crushed the steering sensor because it wasn't the correct adapter and I got the 5 beeps. So either a wire is not connected or your steering sensor is toast. I fixed mine by replacing the sensor unit.

Good luck.

Is this the white plastic piece right behind the steering wheel? The one that turns the turn signals off and stuff?
