That dp cel is quits common most gutys are buying something for that to eliminate it.Or with hp tuner.
Do a search I belive its a p0420 or something like that.
Lots of post on it.
The dealer cant help you with that,probably just void your warranty for the mod.

From what I read the pipe diameter is too big for the o2 sensor and gets a false reading which throws the cel,you need the fake one in there to stop it from coming up.

Also dont keep taking off the battery ,go out and buy a cheap obdii reader that will read anderase the codes .Ive seen them for as cheap as $45.00 you dont need a fancy one.

I'm not worried about the cel.. i know what is causing that. I just want to know if i take my car into the dealer for my ESC are they going to look at the check engine light and f' me in the a?

ahh.. not what i wanted to hear. lol
I'm hoping if i clear the CEL they won't bother to check it out
I just don't know why "service esc" came on, i currently have no traction or esc.. hence the warning message:-)

anyother input guys?
