Do you have any changes to your down pipe?

Most high flow cats and dp with no cats set off that code.

Mine does the same thing all the time with my ZZP 3" Downpipe with highflow cat, I just reset it using my Aeroforce, but it only comes on when I am idling at a stoplight.

yeah these cars don't like high flow dp's, just have someone either shut off the code, or put an extender on the 2nd 02. that's it

aftermarket cats sometimes cause these codes when nothing is wrong, to keep the light from coming on you can tune it out with hp tuners, purchase an 02 simulator or use the sparkplug anti-fouler trick. i dont have time to explain it but do a search for it if someone doesnt explain it before i get home. but also, there is a possibility that your cat is bad and the code is legit.
