Dont know what the light means, but Mr Starlet had it lit up the other night. send him a PM.
If it stays on for a while, after driving, then something is wrong, if it disappears it may mean that it's just a light to say the engine is warmed up enough..... no...? :roll:
Isn't the sensor that is near the cat an EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) sensor?

Jap import has a Cat pre heater thing...it's probably not working,don't need this for Australia so you can just get rid of it.
