Are there any additional error codes or specific symptoms (like poor fuel economy or rough idle)? Have you checked the oxygen sensor readings? A graph of the O2 sensor data could help identify issues. If all other systems appear normal, a high-quality catalytic converter might be the best long-term solution.
